I noticed:

https://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/typhoon/#/builders/79/builds/2779

has hung. Since this will be gone by the time anyone looks, inspection on the
system suggests it is hung in perl do_compile building a core-image-minimal:

$ pstree -p 3934003
run.do_compile.(3934003)───make(3934023)───make(4035804)───make(909354)───true(909946)

909354 ? SN 0:00 make -C ext/XS-Typemap/ all PERL_CORE=1 LIBPERL=libperl.so.5.34.0 LINKTYPE=dynamic
909946 ? ZN 0:00 [true] <defunct>
3933716 ? SNs 0:02 python3 /home/pokybuild/yocto-worker/oe-selftest-centos/build/bitbake/bin/bitbake-worker decafbad
3934003 ? SN 0:00 /bin/sh /home/pokybuild/yocto-worker/oe-selftest-centos/build/build-st-3687560/tmp/work/core2-64-poky-linux/perl/5.34.0-r0/temp/run.do_compile.3933716
3934023 ? SN 0:00 make -j 16 -l 52
4035804 ? SN 0:00 make perl nonxs_ext utilities extensions pods

so the true exit code was never looked at by make?

I think it was just starting to run wic tests (wic.Wic, not wic.Wic2).
