Which Unix are you using? FreeBSD's xarg works fine with or without
the -r option:

     -r      Compatibility with GNU xargs.  The GNU version of xargs runs the
             utility argument at least once, even if xargs input is empty, and
             it supports a -r option to inhibit this behavior.  The FreeBSD
             version of xargs does not run the utility argument on empty
             input, but it supports the -r option for command-line compatibil-
             ity with GNU xargs, but the -r option does nothing in the FreeBSD
             version of xargs.

On a side note, there are other issues with the test runner under
FreeBSD, they should be fixed by the patch attached to bgo#644876 [0]
