All of that needs replacing.

There is an autogen file which should automate the steps to get to the 
configure line.

You have to disable-zos-remote to get rid of that.

A minimal config looks like this:

./configure --sbindir=/sbin --libdir=/usr/lib64  --with-python=no \
           --with-python3=no  --disable-listener \
           --with-libcap-ng=yes  --disable-zos-remote \
           --enable-systemd

They are stated in the audit.spec file. But for a minimal config would have 
these dependencies:

BuildRequires: libcap-ng-devel
BuildRequires: kernel-headers >= 2.6.29
BuildRequires: systemd
