Thanks for confirming this. I'm applying this change to the test. (One
can hardly say "fix", since the behaviour of various Unicode characters in
wcwidth is not clearly standardized.)

        * tests/test-wcwidth.c (main): Relax test of U+2060. Avoids a test
        failure on older glibc systems.
