+1, this is at least the third non-obvious miscompilation from gharial. Installing the latest GCC that builds easily (perhaps GCC 10.3) would make this a good buildfarm member again. If that won't happen, at least add a note to the animal like described in https://postgr.es/m/20211109144021.gd940...@rfd.leadboat.com
