Try commenting the automake rule for libxorg_la_DEPENDENCIES in
hw/xfree86/Makefile.am. The problem is that libxorg_la_DEPENDENCIES is
defined as libxorg_la_LIBADD, which (rightly) includes -lselinux.
However, DEPENDENCIES are used as make prerequisites, so make will try
to find a file named "-lselinux". DEPENDENCIES and LIBADD need to be
untangled so that external libraries don't appear as make prereqs.
