When you say that it did not "build", it sounds like there was a compilation
error or link error. In fact, there were only test failures. Maybe that is
a particular slang inside Fedora, but in my understanding (outside Fedora)
test failures are of a lower severity than compilation errors.

Regarding these two unit tests: The unit tests are correct. It's the code
in glibc (post 2.37) that isn't. I have now opened a glibc bug about it:
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=30371
