[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Hi,
I compile the source code. And when i ran tests/cp/capabiliy.sh<http://capabiliy.sh/>, cp preserves attr failed without xattr support . Then i installed xattr. I deleted coreutils and downloaded it again. The problem still exists. I use Ubuntu 18. When i ran cp of Ubuntu, the same commands has no problem.

That's a little vague. Can you send us a complete, self-contained test 
case (e.g., a shell script) illustrating the problem?
