No, I don't.

Google has found me information that indicates that SELinux and MAC
(Mandatory Access Controls) require FS_SECURITY, but Google can't find
any indication that FS_SECURITY is required for linux file
capabilities.

I should try enabling it and see...

Several years ago, I know I could set capabilities on executables (on
a different Gentoo machine), and I don't remember it being difficult
to get working at all...
