+Subject: [PATCH] tests: allow paths in tests to contain '@' char
+
+Tests fail when the build directory contains
+'@' in its path, as its sent to 'sed' unescaped.
+
+This patch allows to build in such environments,
+which typically happen on automated systems (for
+example, when building concurrently with Jenkins).
