Failed test 186 - ENV store downgrades utf8 in setenv at op/magic.t line 75 (also test 187)

Raising a separate issue so as not to clutter #56

From #56 (comment)

These failures are appearing in the perl tests when running under GCC 10.

The only other case I can find is from 2013 and it was unresolved: https://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.perl5.porters/2013/05/msg201832.html

Possibly it is an artefact of running under docker. Or it is related to the compiler (I have not checked with GCC 11). Maybe it is a codepage setting somewhere?

Would you mind committing your 5.36 setup of spbuild to the repo so we can more accurately test exactly the same way as you are?

The config files are on the wip_536 branch. I've just pushed the latest changes to skip tests for several CPAN packages.
https://github.com/StrawberryPerl/Perl-Dist-Strawberry/tree/wip_536

I have uploaded the extlibs to a dev release on https://github.com/StrawberryPerl/build-extlibs/releases/tag/dev_gcc10.3_20230313

I will update the config to point to those files but in the interim the contents of the extlibs_gcc10_20230313.tar file can be extracted to /z/extlibs/_out

The build itself is called using devel.utils/_build-5.36.bat from within the devel.utils dir. The leading underscore is just for faster autocomplete during development. The Perl-Dist-Strawberry Build.PL script needs to be run before calling the bat file the first time, for which I'm using a 5.32 portable distribution extracted to /z/sp532. The strawberry perl instance might be useful as part of the docker instance, and the batch file should be updated to run the build.PL script automatically.

Also, if you have a link for how to set up github authentication on the docker instance then please point me to it. At the moment git hangs on push so I'm having to copy the repos to a local machine to push. I assume there is a credential manager command somewhere under powershell but the ones I have found seem to not work as git still hangs on push.

The builds also need the winlibs distro. I've uploaded that to https://github.com/StrawberryPerl/Perl-Dist-Strawberry/releases/download/dev_20230311/winlibs_10.3.zip

It is the winlibs 10.3 GCC mingw64 distribution but without mingw being the top level dir so it matches the strawberry expectations, and with gmake.exe as a copy of wingw32-make.exe. (We do need to develop a trimmed down version).

Also, if you have a link for how to set up github authentication on the docker instance then please point me to it.

No idea how to make the oauth authentication work inside docker, but I imagine putting an ssh key in %USERPROFILE%\.ssh should work.

These tests pass when building on a local machine instead of under docker.
