9.16.3 make tests on centos 8

[Carl Byington]

Trying to build on centos 8, all the tests except one pass. I get a
failure in bin/tests/system/runtime/tests.sh

I:runtime:checking that named logs an ellipsis when the command line is
larger than 8k bytes (13)
I:runtime:verifying that named switches UID (14)
I:runtime:failed
I:runtime:stopping servers

Ignoring that, the resulting binary seems to run properly.

Opened ticket. That system test appears to be very linux capabilities specific when run as root.

Hi, I have fixed this on RHEL by chmod o+x $HOME before build.
I think it should autodetect nobody's access at least to current $HOME.

Not sure what would be the best fix. named-checkconf is missing user
switch. That check should be skipped if not configured properly. I am
unsure which bind utility can detect just missing rights to read file
under specified user.

It was also hit by Red Hat.

Regards,
Petr

It seems okay to test it. It just should be able to skip the test if
chosen user cannot reach test directory. This test also fails on 9.11.19
version.
