We are not talking about the same issue: you run as unprivilegied a
test that need root privileges. I want to run as root a test that
seteuid to an unprivilegied user.

But I found a workaround:

#define SU_ATF_REQUIRE(x) do {  \
        seteuid(0);             \
        setegid(0);             \
        ATF_REQUIRE(x);         \
} while (0 /* CONSTCOND */);

And once it runs unprivilegied, it uses SU_ATF_REQUIRE instead of ATF_REQUIRE.
