I see you skipped the "fast" stage for now. That made the "normal" stage
we do on every commit pass, but the full builds' "platform images"
https://emba.gnu.org/emacs/emacs/-/jobs/28174 and "build images"
https://emba.gnu.org/emacs/emacs/-/jobs/28144 stages are still failing
on the master branch.

I would really appreciate some guidance on increasing the verbosity of
the tests so we can produce a bug report.

There is no maintainer for either of those files. Based on the commit
history it looks like Philipp Stephani is a good contact for the module
tests and maybe could help us look at the process tests, so I am CC-ing
Philipp.

I'd like to reboot the emba and emba-runner machines again to clear all
the hung containers, but will wait in case there's some useful
information in them for the debugging.

Thanks
