This was not my only mistake. I ran the test on Fedora 19, not RHEL 7.2.

Thanks, after several trials I settled for command ("make test" hangs 
for Python3.4.1 too):

  dilbert@gtrojan> /usr/local/src/Python-3.4.1/python 
Lib/test/test_socket.py

which was the culprit. After checking the code, I found that creating 
RDS socket did not raise an exception.

 >>> import socket
 >>> s = socket.socket(socket.PF_RDS, socket.SOCK_SEQPACKET, 0)
 >>>

It does on other RH  based systems (Centos, RHEL, Fedora != 19). FC 19 
has /proc/sys/net/rds, other systems don't. So this is probably not a 
Python issue, but buggy implementation of RDS.
