hornet has failed its last five runs with

2020-10-05 22:45:42.784 UTC [34734498:40] pg_regress/create_aggregate LOG:  statement: create aggregate
my_percentile_disc(float8ORDER BY anyelement) ( 
      stype = internal,
      sfunc = ordered_set_transition,
      finalfunc = percentile_disc_final,
      finalfunc_extra = true,
      finalfunc_modify = read_write
    );
TRAP: FailedAssertion("variadicArgType != InvalidOid", File: "pg_aggregate.c", Line: 216, PID: 34734498)

After looking at the commits immediately preceding the first failure, and
digging around in the aggregate-related code, it seems like commit
cc99baa43 (Improve pg_list.h's linitial(), lsecond() and co macros)
must've broke it somehow.  The nearest thing that I can see to a theory
is that where DefineAggregate does
        numDirectArgs = intVal(lsecond(args));
it's coming out with the wrong result, leading to a failure of the
numDirectArgs-vs-numArgs sanity check in AggregateCreate.  But how could
that be?  I hesitate to blame the compiler twice in one week.  OTOH, it's
a not-very-mainstream compiler on a not-very-mainstream architecture.

Noah, can you poke into this in a little more detail and try to verify
what is happening?

            regards, tom lane
