I really cannot download anything to the Fedora builders, so 
this won't do. However, I think I can work around this. Either 
I will add more recent mako to EPEL 6 or I will pre-generate the 
tests.

I can build piglit for RHEL-6
(http://copr.fedoraproject.org/coprs/mcepl/piglit-el6/), but 
I am cheating with the most recent python-mako from Rawhide 
(python-mako-1.0.0-1) which doesn't exist for RHEL-6 (yet) and 
of course I am quite certain there are tons of broken code 
inside of the package (also we will most likely need more 
external packages backporting various python 2.7 functionality).

I will investigate how does it work and I will report the 
results.

Thanks so far,
