Avoid false-positive error in gnulib tests 'test-perror2' and 'test-strerror_r'.

On openSUSE OBS, the above gnulib tests fail on armv7l.

    The problem is visible with glibc 2.32 under valgrind:

I think it's the test that's invalid.

This was reported as an actual grep test failure (without valgrind) on
    32-bit Arm, where glibc malloc happens to return a different buffer
    address for the internal allocation (so that msg3 != msg4).

test-strerror_r has the same issue.

Thanks,
    Florian
