the build tools i use are:

automake-1.10-5
autoconf-2.61-8.fc7
make-3.81-6.fc7

as i mentioned before, the 3.1 tags in svn also failed with this error
but the 3.1 version of fc7 can be built without any errors:

setools-3.1-3.fc7.src.rpm

by the way, when i use the setools in fc7 rawhide:

setools-3.1-4.fc7.src.rpm

apol had "segmentation fault" errors in analyzing "all base" policy,
i.e. all modules in "module.conf" are changed into "base"

the same errors occured in setools-3.1-3.fc7.src.rpm.

but apol from setools-3.1-3.src.rpm can analyze the same base.pp without
any errors.
i forget where i got this srpm, maybe from tresys website, but i am sure
that it is not from fc repos.

finally, it seems that this problem is not belong to selinux list, so i 
CC to fedora-selinux list.
"setools at tresys.com" is the mailing list of setools? if yes, i will send
similar problems to this list.
