I'm working on getting GCL to run again. The current Debian patch (which is enormous) fixes most problems, but not the long-running SELinux problem that GCL has had. I took a hint from a thread on this list a couple of months ago. I let make run until it crashed due to a denied mprotect() call, did chcon -t java_exec_t on the binaries, and restarted the make. It completed successfully. I can patch the makefile to do the chcon call in the right place, but I'm worried about getting the right security context on installation now. First, is using java_exec_t in this way acceptable? Second, if so, how do I ask for Fedora's policy to reflect that: bugzilla, request on this list, some other list? Thanks,
Just file a bugzilla against selinux-policy. Dan Walsh (the maintainer) is usually very fast and correct in fixing issues like this one.
