Code that's part of the implementation is "not portable" ... to other
implementations?
musl defines that the character encoding is UTF-8. Aside from that,
that the character encoding is UTF-8 should not even be a question in
2022.

If you're allowing for arbitrary changes to the character encoding and
properties, then tolower is even worse. A locale could define tolower
to whatever it wants and then printf would have nonconforming
behavior. The only "more portable" choice is t=='g' || t=='G'.
