The failures appear to be down to your not having the fr_FR and de_DE locales installed and to not having time zone info support. The locales are needed only for testing, but if TZ info is an optional package on Void Linux then it should be added as a package dependency. If TZ info is installed and GnuCash can't find it then you need to figure out exactly what's going wrong.
