Sorry, @vstinner and @freakboy3742, I could not cleanly backport this to 3.13 due to a conflict.
Please backport using cherry_picker on command line.

Note: switching to '85649b769f0db4992c061c8d17155c07553dda46'.

You are in 'detached HEAD' state. You can look around, make experimental
changes and commit them, and you can discard any commits you make in this
state without impacting any branches by switching back to a branch.

If you want to create a new branch to retain commits you create, you may
do so (now or later) by using -c with the switch command. Example:

  git switch -c <new-branch-name>

Or undo this operation with:

  git switch -

@freakboy3742: I'm not sure what's going on, aarch64 Android 3.13 buildbot failed with:

C/C++: ld.lld: error: /Users/android/buildarea/3.13.mhsmith-android-aarch64/build/cross-build/aarch64-linux-android/prefix/lib/libpython3.13.so: unknown file type

mhsmith

This happened before in #137186 (comment), but I wasn't sure of the cause. I'll look into it.

mhsmith

@freakboy3742: Like the last time this problem occurred, the buildbot server had about 12 GB of free space. The biggest offender was /Users/buildbot/Library/Logs/CoreSimulator:

-rw-r--r--   1 buildbot  staff  30042226464 Jun 17 13:32 CoreSimulator.prev.log
-rw-r--r--   1 buildbot  staff  14734765773 Sep  9 13:20 CoreSimulator.log
-rw-r--r--   1 buildbot  staff      1100845 Feb 10  2025 Simulator.log

I deleted CoreSimulator.prev.log (30 GB), but I didn't restart the Android worker as I did last time, so this should be a better test of whether disk space is indeed the cause.

freakboy3742

I deleted CoreSimulator.prev.log (30 GB), but I didn't restart the Android worker as I did last time, so this should be a better test of whether disk space is indeed the cause.

Sounds like a cron job to rotate/clean up those logs (or better still, direct them to the build directory) might be called for. I'll investigate what can be done.

mhsmith

I deleted CoreSimulator.prev.log (30 GB), but I didn't restart the Android worker as I did last time, so this should be a better test of whether disk space is indeed the cause.

For future reference: this apparently did resolve the problem. It's plausible that problems could start happening with 12 GB still available, because the iOS tests use a large amount of temporary space while running. But I still don't know why it would lead to this "unknown file type" error.
