I really want to avoid something like that. If it is only an "invalid" test
I would patch the Makefile in our ebuild to disable this test (and document
the reason). But please don't disable it just for Gentoo in source.

But I first want to understand what's failing and why. Would be nice if you
could answer some questions:

1) I am very sure that the same test passed in 8.7.0 when we added 8.7.0 to
our repository in February. Just tested v8.7.0 today and this test is (now)
failing, too ;)  Any idea what could cause this? Could it be related to the
util-linux package which was bumped from v2.25.2 to v2.26 [1] recently on
Gentoo?

2) If I understand you correctly you are wondering to see a RFC5424 header
at all. Is there something we should turn off?

3) Gentoo is not systemd at all. The test system for example, has no systemd
installed. We rely on imuxsock for chroots for example. Will the RFC5424
header cause any trouble because it is not really support in rsyslog or is
it really just the test...?
