So it appears that in v10,

./configure ... --enable-tap-tests ...
make
make install
cd contrib/test_decoding
make check

fails due to failure to install test_decoding into the tmp_install
tree, while it works in v11. Moreover, that's not specific to
gaur: it happens on my Linux box too. I'm not very sure why only
three buildfarm animals are unhappy --- maybe in the buildfarm
context it requires a specific combination of options to show the
problem.

There's no obvious difference between bedda9fbb and 6dd690be3,
so I surmise that that patch depended somehow on some previous
work that only went into v11 not v10. Haven't found what, yet.
