I thought it did fail earlier, but now I see it didn't. There was an
IP addresses misconfiguration, but trying that now, I can only find a
commit on which there were 2 errors instead of 3, but none which would
successfully survive 'make check'.
So sorry for the noise I made about that.
Don't apologize - it's something that upstream gnulib needs to fix
someday, even if the downstream libvirt patch wasn't actually pointing
out a gnulib regression. But I don't know how many active FreeBSD users
are on the gnulib list to help with the analysis effort, so it may be a
while before fixes appear (at any rate, a failed gnulib test is not
necessarily a reason to hold up a downstream release).
