Hello again.
The security risk associated with the linkage of an old libsepol.a
static library is low due to the fact that the tools are usually built
from each component separately after all the libraries have been
previously built and installed.

The above is what I get. And there is probably more behind that...
The problem is due to the fact that before "make install" is issued,
nothing usually exists under DESTDIR whatever DESTDIR is.
So includes from DESTDIR are getting included but unfortunately they are
not there (yet). Until you have temporarily removed DESTDIR, you won't
be able to reproduce it.
