After libsepol is modified (for example while developing new features or
fixing bugs), running "make install" in the top-level directory does not
update the programs which use libsepol.a. Add this static library to the
target dependencies in order to force their updates. This makes "make"
use libsepol.a in the linking command without using LDLIBS.
While at it, copy what commit 14d7064348 ("libselinux: Allow
overriding libsepol.a location during build") introduced in libselinux
Makefile by using a new LIBSEPOLA variable in all Makefiles.

Teach audit2why to recognize type bounds failures. This required
updating libsepol sepol_compute_av_reason() to identify bounds
failures, and updating libsepol context_struct_compute_av() to
include the type bounds logic from the kernel.
This could potentially be further augmented to provide more detailed
reporting via the reason buffer to include information similar to
what security_dump_masked_av() reports in the kernel. However, it
is unclear if this is needed. It is already possible to get type
bounds checking at policy build time by enabling expand-check=1
in /etc/selinux/semanage.conf (or by default when compiling
monolithic policy).

Was caused by:
Unknown - would be allowed by active policy
Possible mismatch between this policy and the one under which the audit message was generated.
Possible mismatch between current in-memory boolean settings vs. permanent ones.

Was caused by:
Typebounds violation.
Add an allow rule for the parent type.
