Without knowing what ./tests/testsuite actually do, it's hard to tell. It's
possibly that the code is doing something not available in lxc/lxd (e.g.
loading kernel module), and doesn't handle failure correctly (e.g. keep
waiting instead of saying fail).

A workaround is to edit your SRPM (or possible the makefile, by creating an
additional patch), and comment-out the test code (there should be "make
check" or "make test" somehwere)
