Thanks for reporting that.
To summarize, the root-only check, tests/rm/one-file-system
is failing on systems where mount doesn't know the --bind option.
This should fix it.
If you test it, please let me know.

        tests: skip (don't fail) rm/one-file-system when mount --bind fails
        * tests/rm/one-file-system: Reported by Allen Hewes.
