Ideally all apps & libraries would ship their own selinux policies with a common framework for combining them & base layer for privilege sets (eg, "let me open any file the current user can open" or whatever). If that was the case then your concern wouldn't be an issue. You'd just say "I use libc sockets" and you'd inherit whatever file path permissions are necessary for that to work, as defined & exported by the libc in question.

But that's not a thing. So distros are attempting to add it later themselves, which is a disaster.
