The disadvantage of this approach is that you will then be less motivated
to get the problem fixed.

Install the same O/S version in an emulator, or ask someone to give you
access to the build machine?  For example, if you send me your public
key I can give you ssh access to gcc12 and gcc20, two out of three of the
failing bot machines.
