Subject: [PATCH] Make build-time test failures non-fatal if 3 out of 5
 attempts succeed

There are several upstream bugs that cause intermittent test failures,
and can intermittently be reproduced in real use. However, these are not
regressions, so we should not FTBFS just because we happen to have been
unlucky during build.
