Selinux can be enabled in Ubuntu [1] - it's just not installed by default.

The karmic control file doesn't list libselinux1-dev [2] as a build
dependency. Could this be the root cause of the failed build?

[2]: http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/libselinux1-dev

We could enable selinux during the build process (by adding
libselinux1-dev as a build dependency). Do the tools work correctly if
the system is not configured with selinux (the default in Ubuntu)?
