gettext 0.23.1 xgettext-its-2 FAIL

[Simon Josefsson]

Hi

Gettext 0.23.1 builds fine as a Debian package.  However when building
in a special way by the "reprotest" suite (a QA tool for reproducability
checking) on Salsa CI, there is self-test failure.  Most likely
something in the intentionall "strange" second build environment that
"reprotest" sets up is disturbing this self-check, causing the failure.

Alas the VERBOSE=1 output is really thin:

...
Skipping test: tclsh not found or Tcl too old
SKIP msgunfmt-tcl-1 (exit status: 77)
SKIP: xgettext-16
=================
Skipping test: rxgettext not found
SKIP xgettext-16 (exit status: 77)
FAIL: xgettext-its-2
====================
FAIL xgettext-its-2 (exit status: 1)
SKIP: xgettext-ruby-1
...

I managed to inject some commands before running 'dh_auto_test' that
invokes 'make check', ugly hack like this:

override_dh_auto_test:
        find
        ./gettext-tools/tests/xgettext-its-2; echo rc $$?
        cd ./gettext-tools/tests/ && ./xgettext-its-2; echo rc $$?
        cd ./gettext-tools/tests/ && sh -x ./xgettext-its-2; echo rc $$?
        dh_auto_test

The final failing run results in the output below (after it does some
successful attempts earlier).  Unfortunately it doesn't give me a lot of
additional ideas.  Can you think of any useful command to run to
continue debug this situation?

Complete output is here, although the 'find' makes it rather hard to
scroll (be sure to click on 'View raw' or 'full log' to see it all):

https://salsa.debian.org/jas/gettext-experimental/-/jobs/6873381

Running this requires around 40 minutes of Salsa CI churn, and setting
up the same environment locally for testing seems complicated, so I'm
hoping to get help to debug this in some clever way.  Maybe as a first
step the self-test could be improved to log more on tool failures?
