"ghc-config: /builds/ghc/ghc/_build/stage1-test/bin/ghc: readCreateProcess: posix_spawnp: resource busy (Text file busy)"

Example: https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/jobs/1357237

Seems to have only started in January:

select count(job_id) 'cnt',
    strftime('%Y-%m', json ->> 'created_at') 'date', json->>'$.name' 'name'
from job
where job_id in (
    select rowid from job_trace where trace match
        '"ghc-config: /builds/ghc/ghc/_build/stage1-test/bin/ghc: readCreateProcess: posix_spawnp: resource busy (Text file busy)"'
)
group by
    strftime('%Y-%m', json ->> 'created_at'), json->>'$.name'
order by strftime('%Y-%m', json ->> 'created_at') desc


-------------

cnt  date     name

Note: the match string can be reduced to simply "posix_spawnp: resource busy" and the same results are returned.
