Which release of SELinux are you using, and which download option did you use?

Based on this output, it looks like you are using an older release. As of the most recent release, the creation of the architecture symbolic links was moved into the selinux_plug Makefiles. In any event, this should have happened during the kernel build, so something is wrong here.

The checkpolicy program should have been compiled during the kernel build. Again, this suggests that your kernel build didn't really succeed. Did you enable SELinux in the kernel configuration?
