⚠️⚠️⚠️ Buildbot failure ⚠️⚠️⚠️

Hi! The buildbot s390x RHEL8 LTO 3.x has failed when building commit 4140f10.

What do you need to do:

1. Don't panic.
2. Check the buildbot page in the devguide if you don't know what the buildbots are or how they work.
3. Go to the page of the buildbot that failed (https://buildbot.python.org/all/#builders/567/builds/1215) and take a look at the build logs.
4. Check if the failure is related to this commit (4140f10) or if it is a false positive.
5. If the failure is related to this commit, please, reflect that on the issue and make a new Pull Request with a fix.

You can take a look at the buildbot page here:

@Mariatta, can you look at the comments by Miss Islington in this PR? She seemed confused (several messages with "Status check, it's a success" but a red X mark). In general she often leaves noise comments -- perhaps several actions each trigger a run and the runs race with each other?

I think the PR with "Status check, it's a success", with a red X mark is GH-23942.
