I don't think it's CI specific, see
https://buildfarm.postgresql.org/cgi-bin/show_log.pl?nm=hamerkop&dt=2022-08-26%2011%3A00%3A11

Looks like the failures might have started with
https://git.postgresql.org/gitweb/?p=postgresql.git;a=commit;h=121d2d3d70ecdb2113b340c5f3b99a61341291af
based on
https://cirrus-ci.com/github/postgres/postgres/

Not immediately obvious why that would be.
