looks like the postmaster fails to startup up:

./pg_regress --temp-install=./tmp_check --top-builddir=../../..
--temp-port=55678 --schedule=./parallel_schedule --multibyte=SQL_ASCII
--load-language=plpgsql
============== removing existing temp installation ==============
============== creating temporary installation ==============
============== initializing database system ==============
============== starting postmaster ==============

pg_regress: postmaster did not start within 60 seconds
Examine ./log/postmaster.log for the reason
make[2]: *** [check] Error 2
make[2]: Leaving directory
`/home/pgbuild/pgfarmbuild/HEAD/pgsql.1436/src/test/regress'
make[1]: *** [check] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory
`/home/pgbuild/pgfarmbuild/HEAD/pgsql.1436/src/test'
make: *** [check] Error 2

and the logfile is full of:
