At the very beginning of the test we check if the underlying filesystem supports extended attributes as they are used to store fake SELinux labels. In order to check that, a dummy file is created and semi-random attribute is set. However, the file is created under: abs_srcdir "/securityselinuxlabeldata/testxattr" which has two problems: abs_srcdir is not required to be writable, so it should have been abs_builddir. The second one is - there's no "securityselinuxlabeldata" folder under abs_builddir. The problem was introduced in caf164f1.
