What about when the system is booted?  I mean, can you try relabling the
filesystem on the target itself?  Historically it's been a pretty sticky
challenge to get labels correct in a target fs in a cross-build
environment, even when it's only a half-cross scenario (that is,
building on x86-64 for x86-64 but still using the x-build environment).
I've worked on a number of projects in the past where we've had to make
this work and it does tend to be full of blind alleys.  :-)

Anyway, it sounds like things are mostly good with your setup, but I'd
like to know if you are able to first do something like booting your
system, verifying you have the unlabeled_t scenario, then do a 'fixfiles
-F restore' or 'fixfiles -F relabel' on your live system, that would
help.

Also, before you boot your system for the first time, can you check to
see if there is a '/.autorelabel' file present and, if so, if there are
any warnings or errors reported during your first boot?  Usually if
there is a problem, that'll point toward it.

Yeah, if it's at all possible to migrate to something newer, that'd be
your best option.  1.3 is pretty long in the tooth and there's been a
lot of improvements in meta-selinux in the interim.
