It's failing in the chmod/no-x test, so let's try to figure out why.
Can you please try the following commands?

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

For comparison, here's the output of that command here:

make  check-TESTS
make[1]: Entering directory 
`/home/eggert/src/coreutils/obj-Linux-2.4.18-1-686.eggert-unknown/tests/chmod'
+ chmod --version
chmod (coreutils) 5.2.1
