    The test fails since _XOPEN_ENH_I18N is set to -1 and wcsftime
    returns NOERROR when ENOSYS was expected. A recent interpretation
    decided that it was permitted to support some but not all of the
    'enhanced' facilities.
    Test Output

    wcsftime() did not set errno correctly

    Interpretation VWG/025/081892 states that "If {_XOPEN_ENH_I18N} is set to -1,
    some of the functions in this group may be supported. This is to encourage
    convergence of implementations."

    This interpretation supports that recommendation for a permanent waiver.
