yep like I said I owe you guys an apology, for
my mistake(thanks for taking the time).

 From what it looks like init was looking for libselinux
in /lib instead of /lib64.
after adjusting the Makefile and adding:
LDFLAGS = -s -L/lib64 -lselinux -lsepol
LIBDIR=/lib64
the system boots right up.
(sh*t built everything to point to lib64(xserver and all).., and
forgot the modify init.c to do the same).
