test-utf8 looks like a problem on big-endian. I can reproduce it on
partch (powerpc porter box), looking into it.

The new test-sigbus is a case for
Disable-tests-which-fail-on-buildds.patch, I'm afraid. Many buildds
run old kernels (like 3.2 or even older) which don't satisfy systemd's
requirement (>= 3.7).
