You should be able to work around this problem simply by disabling PAM in the util-linux MCONFIG before building the modified login program. SELinux itself doesn't depend on PAM, but the modified login program provided in the SELinux distribution is configured with PAM enabled by default, because we're using RedHat, and RedHat uses PAM.
