Looks like I should have done a wider exploration instead
of presuming just main-armv7 was broken.

An interesting point is that none of the *-armv7-quarterly
jails have failed so far. Just the *-armv7-default have
failed:

main-armv7-default p149fe86b8e79_s149e1af6a ,
141releng-armv7-default 1f84c1fae602 ,
133releng-armv7-default 1f84c1fae602 .

I'll note that the arm64 ones did not fail:

main-arm64-default p149fe86b8e79_s149e1af6ae4
141arm64-default 1f84c1fae602 ,
133arm64-default 1f84c1fae602 .

133releng-armv7-default is the oldest failure for this issue:
Sun, 06 Oct 2024 23:33:31 GMT start with elapsed: 00:05:26 .

133releng-armv7-default had a  prior build: Thu, 19 Sep 2024 19:55:19 GMT 58:03:54

141releng-armv7-default had no prior build attempts ( was: 140releng-armv7-default ).

     main-armv7-default had a  prior build: Thu, 03 Oct 2024 04:21:42 GMT 61:50:05


I wonder what a common change is across the failing examples.
