See https://github.com/nodejs/reliability/blob/main/reports/2026-06-04.md - the building process runs into SIGKILL when building the ELF binary:

14:15:01     [SEA] No existing note found. Proceeding to add new note.
14:15:01     [SEA] Building modified ELF binary with new note...

    I don't know when/whether I'll have any free time to look into it, but it could be related to #61483

    The is_debug guard in test/common/sea.js relies on a GN-only value
    and never fires on the gyp builds used by CI. As a result, SEA tests
    have been running on Linux debug builds despite the original intent.

    I opened #63751 to use
    process.config.target_defaults.default_configuration === 'Debug'
    instead, matching the approach already used in test/common/index.js.
