It doesn't seem to be caused glibc 2.26, because if I try to compile
libnih on Sid without having glibc updated from 2.25 to 2.26 yet (due
to libnih), it still FTBFS in the same way:
BAD: wrong content in file 0x5653145373a0 (output), expected 'test:foo:2:0:
Invalid object path in <node> name attribute
' got 'test:foo:1:36: Invalid object path in <node> name attribute
'
at tests/test_parse.c:7954 (test_parse_xml).
FAIL test_parse (exit status: 134)
The reproducible build saw its first FTBFS on 2017-12-23 (sid) and
2017-12-30 (buster), and the last successful build on 2017-12-14 (sid)
2017-12-25 (buster):
https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/debian/rb-pkg/unstable/amd64/libnih.html
Looking at libnih's build dependencies, the expat upstream version
bump on 2017-12-16 in Sid and on 2017-12-25 in buster fits quite well.
Another hint towards expat is the fact that the failing test involves
XML parsing.
