While SELinux is not required for audit, I don't think I've ever run
it on system without SELinux.  In theory the audit-testsuite shouldn't
rely on SELinux being present (other than the SELinux specific tests
of course), but I'm not confident enough to say that the test suite
will run without problem without SELinux.

If it isn't too difficult, I would suggest enabling SELinux in your
kernel build and ensuring the necessary userspace, policy, etc. is
installed.  You don't need to worry about getting it all running
correctly; the audit-testsuite should pass with SELinux in permissive
mode.

If you're still seeing all these failures after trying that let us know.
