I'm currently building svn-20201223 sysv, the only 'variance' is
that the host is running a 5.10.1 kernel and in this build I'm using
5.10.2 headers. I very much doubt that those are relevant.
We have not changed either gdbm or expect for a very long time, and
my last build (r12061 with a 5.9.8 kernel) passed the gdbm tests
when I ran them - that was on a different machine.
AFAICS the gdbm tests have not failed (on the builds where I ran
them) in the last 6 years, but today although all 30 of the main
tests still passed, one of the gdbmtool tests failed:

The last unexpected new test failure I had seems to have been a race
(I forget which package, but it failed twice, then I added '|| true'
and it passed) so since this is also a -j8 build (not sure if the
tests use all cores, some CMMI packages now seem to pick that up
from the build) I retried with the same error, then added '|| true'
to allow it to not stop my build. This time all those builds
reported that failure so it doesn't look like a race.
Odd, because I cannot see any change which is liekly to have
triggered this.
