I'd be quite astonished if the buildfarm were trying to do anything
that requires root privilege, and even more astonished if it were
succeeding.  I think the expectation is that you turned on
sepgsql_regression_test_mode manually before enabling this buildfarm
test.  I don't understand how < 18 would be passing if it weren't on,
so the likely bet is that the test_sepgsql script is mistaken about
how it's checking that.  Said script does work for me, but maybe
RHEL7's getsebool output is different from later versions?
