Seeing some weird behaviour here building Bison 3.7 on musl libc.

Something seems to be "intelligent" enough to know that \u2022 is a
bullet character, and is replacing it with "*" instead of ".", causing
all the tests to fail:

awilcox on gwyn [17] bison: LC_ALL=C /bin/printf '\u2022\n' | od -t x1
0000000 2a 0a
0000002

Best,
--arw
