That animal is now running, named "adder". Due to a typo there are still
spurious errors on the older branches, but I've triggered those to be re-run.

Currently adder builds with autconf on older branches and with meson on newer
ones. Is it worth setting up two animals so we cover both ac and meson with 32
bit on 16/HEAD?

There's something odd about how we fail when not specifying the correct PERL
at configure time:
/home/bf/bf-build/adder/REL_13_STABLE/pgsql.build/../pgsql/src/pl/plperl/Util.c: loadable library and perl binaries are mismatched (got first handshake key 0x93c0080, needed 0x9580080)

Not sure what gets linked against what wrongly. But I'm also not sure it's
worth the energy to investigate.
