It's not only lsof. There are a lot of packages that get screwed by libselinux (especially gnome/gtk related packages). This is something that should be really solved somehow, sys-libs/libselinux is not listed anywhere and if you mistakenly forget about the issue and compile it, you won't be able remove it easily. Other bitches are sys-process/audit and sys-libs/libxcrypt. masking masking masking! :)
Created attachment 153075 [details, diff] lsof-4.78-r1-selinux.ebuild.patch Gives the pesky Configure script a sed up the wazoo! Untested, believed to fix the problem.
Adding base-system to CC -- it's their ebuild.
thanks Peter. added as -r2
