Thanks Michael. I guess checking for

  (equal (get-env "CI_JOB_STAGE") "native-comp")

might also help unless that's inadvisable for some reason (though I'm
still hoping it doesn't come to this). And not that you should care, but
I've been waiting for

  bug#65176: ~25 test failures from make check in the latest master

to wrap up before installing this or similar.

BTW, does EMBA expose any public /metrics endpoints? I ask because
perhaps investigating possible relationships between intermittent
EMBA-only job failures and something like node-exporter signals [1]
might prove fruitful. Just a thought.
