@Mimi: As I wrote, I'd suggest moving to docker based travis. I can do it once
other issues are addressed, if this setup work for your internal travis support
as well. See examples .travis.yml [1] [2], builds: [3] [4].

Advantages are more realistic builds for distro maintainers (different libc and
libraries versions, you can test old and new distro releases, etc), but maybe
that's not what you want/need.

Disadvantage is that sometimes docker releases have temporary packaging related
issues (first build in [3]; failure in first build [4] is a bug in LTP, corner
case, which would be otherwise undiscovered a long time).

Kind regards,
Petr
