Control: retitle -1 libgovirt: tests are not thread-safe
Control: severity -1 important
Control: forwarded -1 https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libgovirt/-/issues/10

My best guess is that the test failure is related to this warning:
GLib-DEBUG: setenv()/putenv() are not thread-safe and should not be
used after threads are created

g_setenv() is only used in tests/test-govirt.c which means that the
tests are faulty and there is no evidence that the library itself is
buggy here.

Therefore, I'll change libgovirt's build to ignore build test failures
and leave this bug open in case anyone comes along later to improve
the build tests.

Thank you,
Jeremy Bícha
