tests: fix remote-build tests
Metadata
Current evaluation
Merged #4767 in commit 2b1e68cb5, repairing weekly remote-build tests except Fedora, which lacks compatible Spread test support.
Resolution: closed resolved
Reason: PR #4767 was merged as commit 2b1e68cb5, fixing the long-failing remote-build tests. The Fedora case remains unsupported because Spread is not configured for that platform.

-----
The weekly remote-build tests have been failing for a few months.
This fixes all remote-build tests except for the fedora remote-build test (which fails for an unrelated reason - none of our spread tests are set up to run on fedora).
