So it seems. I don't have access to any obscure operating systems so I
just guessed that if someone supported one extension, they'd support
all of them. The one we test to see if we should skip the test is just
zero-padding though which is pretty easy/obvious to implement. I guess
we can check that one instead / as well. It looks like it supports
both # and E too, so those wouldn't do the trick.

Now the question is if someone supports that one, but not the others
:). (If we try all of them and skip the test, the test approaches
being sort of pointless, except we can notice it was skipped on a
glibc system and realize something is wrong in our parsing.)
