Subject: [PATCH] testsuite: Remove stray semicolon
Date: Thu, 15 Sep 2022 12:52:38 +0200

It unintentionally ends the `export` command causing all the following
variables not being exported to the test environment

I was backporting the alleged fix[1] for the problem that leads to the
following failure of the inplace-selinux.sh
```
inplace-selinux.sh: set-up failure: CONFIG_HEADER not defined
```
but the test still failed for me in the same way. Investigating the
problem I noticed that some variables from the `TESTS_ENVIRONMENT`
weren't present in the test. I then noticed the semicolon in the
`built_program=sed;` line and figured that it probably ends the `export`
command unintentionally.

Looking at the original patch[1] showed that Chris Marusich inserted the
```
CONFIG_HEADER='$(CONFIG_HEADER)'
```
line just above `built_programs=sed;` which explains why it worked for
him originally
