It appears that the latest CentOS-9 stream has pulled in changes from
the Linux 6.8 kernel, specifically commit 'dentry: switch the lists of
children to hlist' (da549bdd15). 

I will double check to see if the latest RHEL9 kernel is pulling this
in (Centos9-Stream is the beta version that eventually feeds into RHEL9)

This specific problem was addressed in the upcoming 1.8.12 by gerrit
15704 "Linux 6.8: use hlist iteration for dentry children".  1.8.12
will have support for linux kernels up to and including 6.9.

I find it odd that 1.8.10 was able to build when 1.8.11 failed.  Was
the build using the same updated kernel level?
