I think this is the issue:

 semodule -i BUILD/mod_selinux-2.4.4/mod_selinux.targeted.pp 
libsepol.print_missing_requirements: mod_selinux's global requirements were not
met: type/attribute httpd_user_script_ro_t (No such file or directory).
libsemanage.semanage_link_sandbox: Link packages failed (No such file or
directory).
semodule:  Failed!


So maybe there are some types in the mod_selinux policy module that don't exist
yet in RHEL7, so as a result, the post install semodule -i is failing. 

Not really sure what the best course of action is. The upstream appears to be
dead so I can't report it there. 

Would it be better to make a mod_selinux.centos.te and a mod_selinux.fedora.te
that accommodates these differences? Or to put httpd_user_script_ro_t into
RHEL7?
