They do network communication and perhaps they even are trying to do

are very useful for for example finding bugs in compiler.
/etc/hosts has an entry for localhost, but it seems your test is trying
to hit what is in /etc/resolv.conf which is a bogus IP. Perhaps your
test is getting a hostname of the builder and trying to look that up?
