# id
uid=0(root) gid=0(wheel) groups=0(wheel),5(operator)

Yes, I do run it as root, but in a jail (all builds are done in
separate clean environments), so that's not system's root and it's
actually safer than running as a regular user.

Actually, I have never run check as non-root and this is the first
time that anything failed because of that.

Running kpseaccess.test as a non-root fixes only one test that
previously failed:

% id
uid=1002(jailuser) gid=1002(jailuser) groups=1002(jailuser)
% ls -l access.o
-rw-r--r--  1 jailuser  jailuser  5624 May 19 21:45 access.o
% ls -l kpseaccess 
-rwxr-xr-x  1 jailuser  jailuser  8914 May 19 21:45 kpseaccess
%
% ./kpseaccess x access.o && echo "doesn't pass"
% ./kpseaccess rwx kpseaccess || echo "doesn't pass"
doesn't pass
