This has been blocking module builds for a while.
Comment 2 Merlin Mathesius 2017-10-09 20:41:34 UTC 
FYI, these failures appear to be the result of an upstream glibc update to the handling of numerics for the fr_FR locale.

The thousands separator character is now defined to be a non-breaking space rather than a plain space. guile's i18n.tests, however, are demanding a plain space.

Other glibc locales were also updated in a similar manner. See https://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=commit;h=70a6707fa15e63591d991761be025e26e8d02bb6
Comment 3 Miroslav Lichvar 2017-10-10 14:42:34 UTC 
Thanks for the hint, Merlin. The i18n test should be now fixed to expect non-breaking spaces separating thousands.
