+Subject: [PATCH] busybox: Add awk gsub erroneous word start match test to know
+ fails on musl
+
+Musl does not implement this BSD extension REG_STARTEND and the test states
+that it will fail without this extention, therefore guard it with SKIP_KNOWN_BUGS
+so it can be ignored.
+
+Upstream-Status: Inappropriate [ Musl-specific ]
