Huh.

I haven't run pgindent, but I certainly can imagine...

Hm, it has gotten gcc-9 installed recently, but calliphoridae isn't
using that. So it's probably not the compiler side. But I also see a
binutils upgrade:

2019-07-08 06:22:48 upgrade binutils-multiarch:amd64 2.31.1-16 2.32.51.20190707-1

and corresponding upgrades forall the arch specific packages. I suspect
it might be that.

I can't immediately reproduce that locally though, using the same
version of binutils. It's somewhat annoying that the buildfarm uses a
different form of computing the typedefs than src/tools/find_typedef ...
