BUG #18991: NUMA test fails on machine with two NUMA nodes when building 18beta2

The following bug has been logged on the website:

Bug reference: 18991
Logged by: Maximilian Bosch
Email address: maximilian(at)mbosch(dot)me
PostgreSQL version: 18beta2
Operating system: NixOS 25.11 / unstable
Description:

Hi!

On NixOS master/unstable we provide betas of PostgreSQL to enable people
such as extension devs to quickly identify problems with it.

When building 18beta2 with `--with-libnuma` and linking against libnuma.so
from numactl 2.0.18, I get the following test failure while building the
package on a machine with two NUMA nodes:

```

```

As mentioned above, the machine I used to build things has two NUMA nodes.
`numactl --hardware` gives

I'm aware that there was already discussion about this in
https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/flat/E1u1tr8-003BbN-2E%40gemulon.postgresql.org,
but it seems like this was a different issue given that an error-code was
given instead of an actual NUMA id? Also, all of the discussion including a
fix seem to have happened well before 18beta2, hence I'm filing a new
report.

Relevant downstream discussions:
* https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/411958#issuecomment-3031660150
* https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/426118

Let me know if I can help with something, e.g. testing potential fixes.
