I'm getting failures in errors, union and alter_table, but none of those
are related to arrays. So, which tests are failing for you and how do
the failures look like?

I've tried both gcc 7.3 and trunk, and all failures look like this:

-- this used to be a syntax error, but now we allow an empty target list
select;
+ print.c:916:4: runtime error: null pointer passed as argument 1, which
is declared to never be null
+ /usr/include/bits/string3.h:90:10: runtime error: null pointer passed
as argument 1, which is declared to never be null

Which seems to trigger the error on this line in print.c:

    memset(header_done, false, col_count * sizeof(bool));

likely because with empty select list col_count=0. So about the same
cause as for fwrite().
