So this is after the build? I have added inferiors recently for using
Emacs 30, that would explain it before build, but after build I am
clueless why that would happen. Though if it's before build, I am
surprised you got an error like that, unless you were purposefully in
environment without network. I added the inferiors just yesterday,
commit 819ee341ab6bcc9846b099572af185c781b82a1d shouldn't be downloading
anything.

I will definitely try to, but probably not today, in a few days,
hopefully by the end of the week.
