It's already supported, albeit not well-documented, because so few people want to do such things, these days. Run ./configure something like the following, and the resulting binaries won't link to SELinux-related libraries: env \ ac_cv_header_selinux_context_h=no \ ac_cv_header_selinux_flask_h=no \ ac_cv_header_selinux_selinux_h=no \ ac_cv_search_setfilecon=no \ ./configure _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list Bug-coreutils@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
