I guess that's caused by clang inlining functions that are mocked
(specifically, some numa related stuff); I think that was discussed
several times already. Anyway, it should work fine with '-O0' in CFLAGS.

I played a little more with virnetsockettest to get real stats and
figured the following:

 1. On my desktop (i5) and laptop (i3), I didn't get any failures in 50
 'check' runs
 2. On a VM that I use to run test builds in Jenkins, out of 50 runs it
 fails from 1 to 6 times; I did this test a couple of times and either I
 was lucky or failure rate is higher when my Jenkins perform regular
 builds.

Anyway, I'll try to find a way to debug what's going on with
virnetsockettest.
