Sadly we still have failures even with this patch:
https://builder.wildebeest.org/buildbot/#/changes/2567

The good news is that elfutils-fedora-x86_64, elfutils-fedora-ppc64le,
elfutils-fedora-s390x, elfutils-debian-i386, elfutils-fedora-ppc64 and
elfutils-debian-armhf are fully green, but...

On elfutils-centos-x86_64 make check fails with:

FAIL: run-debuginfod-tmp-home.sh
FAIL: run-debuginfod-writable.sh

On elfutils-debian-arm64 make check fails with:

FAIL: run-debuginfod-federation-sqlite.sh

On elfutils-centos-x86_64 make check first timed out (!?!)
then it failed with:

FAIL: run-debuginfod-tmp-home.sh
FAIL: run-debuginfod-writable.sh

On elfutils-debian-amd64 make check failed with:

FAIL: run-debuginfod-archive-groom.sh

The failures still look somewhat random (although less random than
before). I don't yet know why.

Cheers,

Mark
