Speaking of things that are misbuilt, 

I think you should grep 
texrel_shlib_t /etc/selinux/strict/src/policy/file_contexts/distros.fc,
where there's an extensive list of open-source software that suffers
from the same problem. Some of those (wine) are valid, and I'm sure
others need to be fixed, but I'm not sufficiently familiar with the
linking process, and what causes text relocations to help with that.

How about this bug, which keeps gpg from running properly on strict
policy SELinux?
