That is extremely unlikely, especially since I run it (and the latest 
policy as well).

Since nobody has posted any actual information I must guess that some 
files are mislabeled.  E.g., ldconfig for some reason creates updated 
glibc DOSs with

   system_u:object_r:lib_t

instead of

   system_u:object_r:shlib_t

This difference is crucial since the policy now is restrictive when it 
comes to mapping files for execution.  So, take a look at the output of

   ls -lZ /lib /lib/tls /usr/lib

(and for related directories).  If any DSO uses lib_t instead of 
shlib_t, fix the label.  The easiest way to do this is to relabel the 
entire filesystem.  More info at
