AFAIK, it's the dynamic linker (ld.so) who shows the error, not ping itself. Could maybe the test suite discard all lines from stderr containing the string "libeatmydata.so" before checking if it's empty o not? I don't know what the "proper" or "right" fix would be, but for me a simple workaround like that would be more than enough. Thanks.
