=sys-apps/findutils-4.6.0 fails tests test-mbrtowc1.sh and test-mbrtowc2.sh for me. I found Debian bug #812762, which said "this is a gnulib issue" and pointed to a gnulib-upstream fix, http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/gnulib.git/commit/?id=1f63650823cebf52044df840c81062ccb52163a2 . Applying the part of that upstream patch that can apply to the gnulib sources in findutils makes the test pass for me. The locales I have installed are the following: en_US ISO-8859-1 en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8 ru_RU.UTF-8 UTF-8 en_GB.UTF-8 UTF-8 en_GB ISO-8859-1 fr_FR.UTF-8 UTF-8 fr_FR ISO-8859-1 fr_FR@euro ISO-8859-15 (The non-en_US locales are all ones that either my experimentation or a comment in some bug or other indicated were necessary for some package's tests to pass.)

thanks, should be fixed with: https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/commit/?id=0ca5d09b5a3688ba55daad5cd210569dacf7e72d
Actually, the patch in the tree isn't the patch from upstream, and instead is a no-op. The file that needs to be changed in the source tree is gl/m4/mbrtowc.m4; the patch in the Portage tree now only changes the configure script, though the patch header is from the correct patch.
(In reply to Jonathan Lovelace from comment #3) m4 files are the inputs to generate the configure file. they are not read at all when running configure. have you actually verified things still fail ?
(Sorry for the delay.) Yes, the tests still fail, with apparently-identical results, which was why I commented. As I mentioned, the patch in the tree doesn't actually change the configure file at all; if I run md5sum on the file between the unpack and prepare phases and after the prepare phase, it gives the same hash. If I adjust the patch to match the relevant lines in the upstream patch, the tests pass.
Besides being a no-op, this patch breaks stable findutils-4.6.0, due to removing executable permission from configure script (log attached). This one would help here: diff --git a/m4/mbrtowc.m4 b/m4/mbrtowc.m4 -index deb9f06..be2e9d6 100644 +index deb9f06..be2e9d6 100755 --- a/configure +++ configure
Created attachment 428722 [details] emerge log with non-executable configure script
(In reply to Jonathan Lovelace from comment #5) ok, the issue isn't configure-vs-m4, it's that when i was hand munging the patch, i replaced the + line with the same - line as before. fixed here: https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/commit/?id=93915c28a70bb0189e5e072a3bd119917b5aa0df (In reply to Michael Haubenwallner from comment #6) fixed that too in the aforementioned change
