I confirm that this patch makes the test pass with musl 1.2.5.

(The __STDC_ISO_10646__ macro was introduced in musl 1.1.15, released
in 2016: https://git.musl-libc.org/cgit/musl/tree/WHATSNEW#n1707
Presumably the test would still fail with older musl versions, but I
think it is OK to ignore that.)
