Since 2.9, Linux discovery aborts if /sys isn't available. Usually it will fallback to the x86 backend... except on non-x86 platforms obviously where it would fallback to "noos" instead.
The hwloc_backends.c test verified that the "Backend" info attribute was the same in the XML-loaded topology and the original topology, but it did not handle the case where that info attribute did not exist at all, which is the case when only "noos" is used.
This is first reported by Simon South on https://issues.guix.gnu.org/61493
