- give it more times given that more people are reporting issues last week.
junit-xml & performance testing.

New type system: #9446 vs #9408
- Problems with #9446: What if one have two libraries and one wants to use the new type system and the other the old type system?
  - The new type system requires NumPy 2.0. It is not possible to have two different versions of NumPy in the same environment.
- #9446 uses a global config variable (USE_LEGACY_TYPE_SYSTEM) to set wether use the new or the old TS

numba#9439 - Fill out python -m numba -s field for CUDA Libraries Test Output (even if GPU is absent)
numba#9440 - Overloaded function is compiled more than once with the same signature
numba#9441 - Regression: searchsorted drastically slower in tight loops
numba#9443 - AttributeError for inlined generic functions with py312 pep-695 type-parameter syntax

numba#9436 - Add timing and junit xml output to testsuite
numba#9437 - Remove dependencies between Numba's Cpython and NumPy module
numba#9438 - Add math.nextafter support for nopython mode.
numba#9444 - [WIP] Empty commit to test on gpuCI
numba#9445 - Fix #9427 np.searchsorted on datetime64
numba#9446 - Type system implementation #1 (Alternative): Added initial implementation for a new type system using redundancies.
numba#9447 - WIP: Fix Issue #9432, caching of kernels using target-specific overloads (such as CG sync)
numba#9448 - Fix np.searchsorted regression
