Bug description:
  [Testcase]
  * $ LC_ALL=fo_FOO.UTF-8 getopt -o c:d:ko:r:v -n /usr/sbin/mkinitramfs -- --help
  Expected result:
    /usr/sbin/mkinitramfs: unrecognized option '--help'
     --
    Exit code 1
  Current result:
    Segmentation fault
    Exit code 139.

  There are two bugs in play here. glibc bug was fixed, and util-linux
  bug needs an upload still.
