Comment(by was):

 {{{
 The command "sestatus" returns the following text on my system:
        SELinux Status:                 enabled
        SELinuxfs mount:                /selinux
        Current mode:                   permissive
        Mode from config file:          permissive
        Policy version:                 24
        Policy from config file:                targeted

 So it seems that if you grep for "Current mode" and find either "disabled"
 or "permissive", sage should build, but if you encounter "enabled" then it
 may fail to build those apps that make the stack executable.

 On my system sestatus is in /usr/sbin.
