bug#65176: ~25 test failures from make check in the latest master.

Hello, Emacs.

I've just updated my master repo.

The latest commit I downloaded was:

commit 08cc48e496ed98f16a014bf7ced69f527b72ab11 (HEAD -> master, origin/master, origin/HEAD)
Author: Eric S. Raymond <esr@thyrsus.com>

    Remove a DEFSYM that no longer needs to be in the C core.

On building it --with-native-compilation (no other notable arguments)
and running make check, I get lots of failures.  On running

    $ find . -name '*.log' | xargs grep -c FAILED | sed '/:0$/d'

from the test directory, I get this output:

../src/comp-tests.log:6
../lisp/emacs-lisp/rmc-tests.log:4
../lisp/emacs-lisp/edebug-tests.log:2
../lisp/emacs-lisp/macroexp-tests.log:2
../lisp/emacs-lisp/cl-macs-tests.log:2
../lisp/x-dnd-tests.log:4
../lisp/shadowfile-tests.log:6
../lisp/dnd-tests.log:2
../lisp/abbrev-tests.log:6
../lisp/minibuffer-tests.log:2
../lisp/erc/erc-tests.log:2
../lisp/subr-tests.log:2
../lisp/eshell/em-pred-tests.log:4
../lisp/dired-tests.log:6

..  For each failure, FAILED appears twice in the .log file.  That
indicates 25 failures in these files.

Hello, Emacs.

This bug has now been fixed in master.  The discussion around it took
place on the thread in the emacs-devel mailing list with Subject: make
check produces 25 failures and hangs (bug #65176)..
