The cause is that meson fixed a bug [1] in v.1.7.0. Before meson
v1.7.0; although --no-rebuild is used while running tests, meson was
building all targets. This is fixed with v.1.7.0.
The change below fixes the problem:
diff --git a/.cirrus.tasks.yml b/.cirrus.tasks.yml
index 18e944ca89d..c7a94ff6471 100644
--- a/.cirrus.tasks.yml
+++ b/.cirrus.tasks.yml

And I think this is the correct approach. It builds all of the
not-yet-built targets before running the tests. Another solution might
be manually building ecpg target before running tests but I think the
former approach is more suitable for the CI.
