OK, I don't see anything in the strace suggesting a cause. The kernel
version (or whether a container was used) present on the system where
you built musl or the test programs should make no difference
whatsoever; musl has no build dependencies on the host kernel or
kernel headers or anything like that (and doesn't even need to be
built on a Linux host).
A couple questions:
Are the test programs on the i686 machine running under Docker or any
other container environment?
Can you tcpdump the traffic between the test program and the dnsmasq
during a failing run, with verbose display of the packet contents
(-vvv or something like that)?
I don't see any plausible explanation for the result varying between
runs and with timing like this unless dnsmasq is doing something
odd/wrong. I thought it might be related to something blocking time64
syscalls but that doesn't seem to be the case -- according to the
strace logs they're getting ENOSYS as expected with fallback to the
legacy 32-bit clock_gettime etc. which is fine.
