I'm not sure if that's omitted by accident or intentional, but I don't think
it's ok to drop S_IFIFO:

man mknod(2):

       The file type must be one of S_IFREG, S_IFCHR, S_IFBLK, S_IFIFO,
       or S_IFSOCK to specify a regular file (which will be created
       empty), character special file, block special file, FIFO (named
       pipe), or UNIX domain socket, respectively.  (Zero file type is
       equivalent to type S_IFREG.)
=> we don't test on named pipe but on a regular file.

Could you please use the same approach as you use in mknod06.c?
#define MODE_FIFO_RWX (S_IFIFO | 0777)

make check reports:

mknod08.c:24:7: warning: Symbol 'nobody_uid' has no prototype or library ('tst_') prefix. Should it be static?
mknod08.c:25:7: warning: Symbol 'nobody_gid' has no prototype or library ('tst_') prefix. Should it be static?
mknod08.c:25:19: warning: Symbol 'free_gid' has no prototype or library ('tst_') prefix. Should it be static?

With that fixed you can add:
