This seems to be the source of the problem: pdsh@ip-10-84-234-180: module path "/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/src/modules/.libs" insecure. pdsh@ip-10-84-234-180: "/build": Owner not root, current uid, or pdsh executable owner pdsh@ip-10-84-234-180: Couldn't load any pdsh modules
Indeed, I can reproduce by building in a directory that has an ancestor directory owned by a user that is neither root, nor myself. I've not been clever enough to workaround this. Two options would be to (1) disable the failing tests or (2) avoid the failures by linking the plugins statically. Neither seems ideal.
