And, btw, on this Gnu/Linux system:

  $ uname -a
  Linux (REDACTED) 5.15.0-94-generic #104+11.0trisquel25 SMP Sat Feb 10 06:24:53 UTC 2024 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

all the Python tests that failed for you still pass, with the current
master.  So I wonder what is it that causes those failures on your
system.
