A work around is to build your own kernel with the xfs module built
in.

Further from the build log is:

You can run the CompileFeature test manually by running the executable
Build/bin/ctest in the cmake build directory.  I think you can tell it
to run one test only.  But it probably does not give much more
information than the build log above gives.
