Ah.  I see, now.  Thanks.
In the middle of that thread, Bob Proulx asked this:
(thanks, Bob!)

    Can you run the tests like this and send the output back to the list?

      cd tests/chmod
      env VERBOSE=yes make check TESTS=no-x

      cd tests/rm
      env VERBOSE=yes make check TESTS=fail-2eperm

but the resulting output in the reply didn't include any
of the `+'-prefixed lines I would have expected.
Would you please run those commands and report the results?

FYI, here's what I get for the former, running as a regular user:

  $ env VERBOSE=yes make check TESTS=no-x
  make  check-TESTS
  make[1]: Entering directory `/e/my/fet/cu/tests/chmod'
  + chmod --version
  chmod (GNU coreutils) 5.3.0
