Either that, or something more complex in the libc/kernel path.

Some culprits in the past have been:
 * poll_duplex
 * poll_unidirectional
 * hrtime
 * fs_event_watch_file_current_dir
 * ipc_listen_before_write
 * threadpool_cancel_work

However it is difficult to see a pattern, as even between minor
debian revisions the results are different.

I would expect to see timeouts in those cases (as opposed to hard
failures), but it could as well be the case.
Also some quirkiness in the host-side of the builders, which are still
running kernel 9.0.

In all these cases, it may make sense to avoid failing on test-suite
failure on !linux. Are you ok with that?

Cheers, Luca
