I used to use older version of coreutils that allowed for '--enable-selinux' or 
'--disable-selinux'.  This has been recently changed (2/2007).  Now, when I 
upgraded to coreutils-7.1 these options are not available.

I am making/compiling on the Fedora 9 GNU machine for a different target (sort 
of cross-compilation).  The making process detects SELinux on my building 
machine and makes permanent linking to libselinux (e.g. 'ldd cp' shows this 
relationship).

The SELinux is an add-on to LINUX and in my opinion that is how it should be 
treated.  Most modules/packages allow for enabling or disabling SELinux so I 
think coreutils should not be any different.

So, ultimately something got lost.  I could not find any documentation or any 
notes how to go about.  Please, reconsider adding options to disable SELinux 
while configuring/making coreutilis.
