Description
Hi, uutils mainteners
as i confirmed that the uu mkdir do not output the warning while the gnu one does, as our test confirmed
relunsec@relunsec:~/software/coreutils/target/debug$ ./mkdir --context=con u
relunsec@relunsec:~/software/coreutils/target/debug$ gnumkdir --context=con g
gnumkdir: warning: ignoring --context; it requires an SELinux/SMACK-enabled kernel
relunsec@relunsec:~/software/coreutils/target/debug$

Research direction
Start with the uu mkdir command and reproduce the issue using --context=con on a non-SELinux kernel, then compare it with gnumkdir. Inspect the existing mkdir tests and implementation; done means the Rust command emits the corresponding warning when --context is ignored and the test confirms the behavior.
