[+cc gnulib, the selinux-at code comes from there] Thanks for the report!

The --without-selinux really could work-around this issue. Copying the original report: > I'm trying to build GNU Tar 1.29 with the PGI 16.10 compilers, but it crashes > during `make`: I'm not familiar with this compiler, thus the errors below are not readable to me (maybe undefined symbol because of broken system header?). Perhaps others might decode better .. but I think that the best guess would be to provide a patch which fixes gnulib's SELinux module for your system/compiler.
