Indeed, thanks a lot for the hard work.

The machine running the builds on the CG had some issues over the
weekend (I'm not sure about the details).

The builds for r60353 worked everywhere. The builds for r60354-r60357
initially finished only on four workers:
- Solaris i386 & Solaris x86_64: failed (and it's still broken after the revert)
- macOS arm64 & Debian 10 aarch64: OK
- everything else: [network timeout]

but I later reran those that timed out (bright red) and other than on
Solaris, the builds succeeded everywhere else.

Apparently I wasn't paying close enough attention. The build server
didn't pick up any commits beyond r60357 due to the outage, so in fact
the broken builds on Solaris indicate that version 2.11 was broken.
After trying to build the latest commit from SVN it seems that it's
working again (or at least it's past the point where the error
occurred earlier). But broken builds on Solaris shouldn't be
jeopardizing all the other platforms in the long run.

I'll see if I can reproduce the problem with clean upstream sources
and potentially bisect over the history.
