Wwe use this in libnbd.spec:

https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/libnbd/blob/rawhide/f/libnbd.spec#_214

In libguestfs we have a whole infrastructure for skipping tests by
setting $SKIP_* variables in localenv.

For libnbd/nbdkit it might be possible to automate it in the same way
with tests/functions.sh.in + $0, but it's not implemented at the
moment.  Of course it'd be better if the tests didn't fail :-)
