Thanks for the report. I could not reproduce this on the Musl system I
have access too, but it is clearly due to a recent commit of mine in
Gnulib.

I don't have commit privileges to Coreutils so you can run 'git am' on
the attached patch. Or wait until a Coreutils maintainer does the same
and pushes the change.
