Okay, my testing was flawed because I failed to add libvirt-tck to
the list of projects associated to the hosts in the inventory.

What happens if you actually try to build the project is, everything
works fine on both targets until you get to the RPM part, which fails
with

  perl(Config::Record) is needed by perl-Sys-Virt-TCK-2.0.0-1.el7.noarch
  perl(TAP::Formatter::HTML) is needed by perl-Sys-Virt-TCK-2.0.0-1.el7.noarch
  perl(TAP::Formatter::JUnit) is needed by perl-Sys-Virt-TCK-2.0.0-1.el7.noarch
  perl(TAP::Harness::Archive) is needed by perl-Sys-Virt-TCK-2.0.0-1.el7.noarch
  perl(accessors) is needed by perl-Sys-Virt-TCK-2.0.0-1.el7.noarch

on CentOS 7 and with

  perl(Config::Record) is needed by perl-Sys-Virt-TCK-2.0.0-1.el8.noarch
  perl(LWP::UserAgent) is needed by perl-Sys-Virt-TCK-2.0.0-1.el8.noarch
  perl(Sys::Virt) >= 0.2.1 is needed by perl-Sys-Virt-TCK-2.0.0-1.el8.noarch
  perl(TAP::Formatter::HTML) is needed by perl-Sys-Virt-TCK-2.0.0-1.el8.noarch
  perl(TAP::Formatter::JUnit) is needed by perl-Sys-Virt-TCK-2.0.0-1.el8.noarch
  perl(TAP::Harness::Archive) is needed by perl-Sys-Virt-TCK-2.0.0-1.el8.noarch
  perl(accessors) is needed by perl-Sys-Virt-TCK-2.0.0-1.el8.noarch

on CentOS 8, which looks about right because the corresponding
packages are not available in the repositories.

Now the question is: if these are actual build requirements, how can
the build succeed and the test suite pass?
