Where is that?

If I do:

cd /usr/tests/lib/libc/gen/posix_spawn
atf-run | atf-report

I get:

Tests root: /usr/tests/lib/libc/gen/posix_spawn

t_spawn (1/3): 6 test cases
    t_spawn_child: [0.026350s] Passed.
..

t_spawnattr (3/3): 1 test cases
    t_spawnattr: [0.000165s] Skipped: Requires root privileges
[0.000627s]

Summary for 3 test programs:
    12 passed test cases.
    0 failed test cases.
    0 expected failed test cases.
    1 skipped test cases.


So it works in general. You may have hit a bug in atf triggered by your
specific test case, please file a PR with enough details to reproduce it
locally.
