I'm not quite following? We need to move it into global scope to fix the
issue at hand (namely that we currently need to make install first, just
to get psql). And at which scope could it be in master, other than
global?
I do think we will have to move it to the global scope in the back
branches too, because NO_TEMP_INSTALL does indeed fail without a global
install first (rather than using the temp install, as intended):
On 11:
$ make -j16 -s uninstall
$ make -j16 -s temp-install
$ make -j16 -s -C src/bin/pg_upgrade/ check NO_TEMP_INSTALL=1
...
../../../src/test/regress/pg_regress --inputdir=/home/andres/src/postgresql-11/src/test/regress
--bindir='/home/andres/build/postgres/11-assert//install/bin' --port=60851 --dlpath=. --max-concurrent-tests=20
--port=60851--schedule=/home/andres/src/postgresql-11/src/test/regress/serial_schedule
(using postmaster on /tmp/pg_upgrade_check-uEwhDs, port 60851)
============== dropping database "regression" ==============
sh: 1: /home/andres/build/postgres/11-assert//install/bin/psql: not found
$ make -j16 -s install
$ make -j16 -s -C src/bin/pg_upgrade/ check NO_TEMP_INSTALL=1 && echo success
...
success
As you can see it uses pg_regress etc from the temp installation, but
psql from the full installation.

I will. If you refer to the buildfarm ones: As far as I can tell they
don't use test.sh at all. Which makes sense, as we need cleanup steps
inbetween the regression run and pg_upgrade, and test.sh doesn't allow
for that.
