Eike is of course right that disabling unit tests is not a good idea in
the long run, in particular if you plan to provide the packages for
"production use", so once the build with disabled unit tests works, the
cause for the failing unit test(s) should be observed.

Unfortunately, there are some "flaky" unit tests, so it might be that
the problem isn't even your build setup by itself. One thing to try
might be to just temporarily disable the specific test that fails
(probably in 'sw/CppunitTest_sw_layoutwriter.mk' according to the output
you pasted previously).
As mentioned before, the more output might help to further narrow the
issue down.

With regard to the build problem you described:

The autogen param '--with-distro=LibreOfficeLinux' you added also
involves '--disable-dconf', and at a quick glance this looks like the
problem might be caused by artifacts from the previous build still lying
around.

Can you please try whether this goes away with a clean build (it might
be sufficient to just run 'make configmgr.clean' and then 'make' (or
'make build-nocheck')?
