9.3.0-r2 built with current toolchain seems quite an improvement regarding failure count.

gcc 9 is masked now.  Do you want to retest with more recent versions and bring this forward, or drop it?

... btw, this doesn't mean the bug was/is worthless: it's really helpful to have historical comparisons to know if things are getting worse/better, especially when stabling.
