The test fails on my VM (last minute change?):
mknod03.c:33: TFAIL: buf.st_mode & S_ISGID (0) != S_ISGID (1024)
mknod03.c:38: TFAIL: buf.st_gid (65534) != free_gid (4)

Why? S_ISGID is *not* 2000 but 02000 (octal number, 1535 in decimal).
I actually find (S_ISGID | 0777) you had in v2 more readable, but maybe it's
just me who needs to look up setuid bits (unlike typical rwx permission bits).

I would keep this first SAFE_STAT() in the setup() as it was in the original
code. We put things in the setup which are not related to the testing and thus
it's a waste of time to repeat them, e.g. on repeated run:
# ./mknod03 -i2000

> +	TST_EXP_EQ_LI(buf.st_mode & S_ISGID, S_ISGID);
Also this original test should quit - use tst_brk(TBROK).

NOTE: after Cyril's change [1] is merged, it will not need to be tst_brk(TBROK),
but it makes sense to use TBROK (instead of TFAIL) in the test setup anyway.

The rest LGTM.

Kind regards,
Petr
