I'm not familiar with the original problem, but familiar with rpminspect in
general. The problem is that the build of the tool does not respect the
CFLAGS/LDFLAGS given by rpm with hardening options etc., so later rpminspect
fails since the binaries were not built with proper cflags/ldflags.

In this case looking quickly here, there are two problems: the makefile
(tools/vm/Makefile) does not accept user specified CFLAGS, and for the
tools/lib/api that the slabinfo/page_owner_sort uses, that uses
tools/lib/api/Makefile which has EXTRA_CFLAGS usage...

So I think you need two options here to really fix this, something like this
patch:

```
$ git diff
diff --git a/tools/vm/Makefile b/tools/vm/Makefile
index 9860622cbb15..6c1da51f4177 100644
--- a/tools/vm/Makefile
+++ b/tools/vm/Makefile
@@ -8,8 +8,8 @@ TARGETS=page-types slabinfo page_owner_sort
 LIB_DIR = ../lib/api
 LIBS = $(LIB_DIR)/libapi.a

-CFLAGS = -Wall -Wextra -I../lib/
-LDFLAGS = $(LIBS)
+CFLAGS += -Wall -Wextra -I../lib/
+LDFLAGS += $(LIBS)

 all: $(TARGETS)

```

Then you can build the tools with:
EXTRA_CFLAGS="${RPM_OPT_FLAGS}" %{tools_make} slabinfo page_owner_sort

You can verify that the proper flags are being used passing V=1, for example:
EXTRA_CFLAGS="${RPM_OPT_FLAGS}" %{tools_make} V=1 slabinfo page_owner_sort
