My impression is that one of the patches carried by the distributions for flex is needed for checkpolicy to work, but no one has ever fully investigated the precise dependency - people just grab the Fedora srpm and apply those patches to flex, and then rebuild checkpolicy and it works. I haven't seen any complaints from Debian or Gentoo so I presume that they also carry the same patches for flex.
Just for reference, Gentoo only has the gcc44 one in portage (plus two others that seem unrelated), and it build the refpolicy fine here.
