    _______________________________________________________

Details:

The build system for findutils (or rather, gnulib, I suspect) automagically
detects and links against libselinux.  This causes trouble if findutils are
compiled on a host where selinux is present, but run on a system without.

See also https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=330139.

The attached patch is only meant to illustrate the sort of solution I had in
mind, namely some sort --enable/disable-selinux option to the configure
script.
