I think it's probably sufficient to run a test tarball build after
the upgrade; I can do so if you notify me when the upgrade's done.

As Andres says nearby, it would be good if this did *not* happen
during the first week of October, since we have releases scheduled
then. Actually, since that will be the final 9.0.x release, I'd
vote for postponing the borka upgrade till after that. That's
one less old branch to worry about new-toolchain compatibility for.
And if there is some subtle problem in the tarballs that we find later,
not having to reissue the last 9.0.x release would be a good thing.
