The system is an Ubuntu 24.04/x86_64.

Find attached the log file.

Here is the error:

I guess I could remove the checks that standard error is empty.

We could skip the test in this edge case.
If you search for the following, you can
see other tests that do that:

"unsafe absolute build directory name"
