I was able to build the main TeX Live packages with  source tarball version 
20210325 – the latest on the historic TeX Live FTP site – and subversion 
tag texlive-2021.3 – the latest tag in the TeX Live repo.

Unfortunately issue 48064¹ still happens. On the bright side, I found a 
workaround for it that also works with TeX Live 2020 currently in core-
updates I will submit the patch with the workaround as soon as testing 
finishes, hopefuly later today.

I will also separately submit patches updating TeX Live to 2021 after I 
build all of the texlive packages, hopefuly in a couple of days.
