FYI I see these compiler warnings just now:

pg_amcheck.c:1653:4: warning: ISO C90 forbids mixed declarations and
code [-Wdeclaration-after-statement]
 1653 |    DatabaseInfo *dat = (DatabaseInfo *)
pg_malloc0(sizeof(DatabaseInfo));
      |    ^~~~~~~~~~~~
pg_amcheck.c: In function ‘compile_relation_list_one_db’:
pg_amcheck.c:2060:9: warning: variable ‘is_btree’ set but not used
[-Wunused-but-set-variable]
 2060 |   bool  is_btree = false;
      |         ^~~~~~~~

Looks like this 'is_btree' variable should be PG_USED_FOR_ASSERTS_ONLY.
