You must be using O=$builddir ??

Lets start by saying that the security/selinux/av_permissions.h file is
automatically generated by scripts/selinux/mdp/genheaders.  On you
system I'll bet the problem is that
$srcdir/security/selinux/av_permissions.h exists and doesn't define
FILE__AUDIT_ACCESS.  You will also likely see that
$builddir/security/selinux/av_permission.h exists and does define
FILE__AUDIT_ACCESS.  The $srcdir version should have been cleaned up
before you were allowed to build with O= but wasn't.

This was fixed in a7a387cc596278af1516c534b50cc0bee171129d

See: http://marc.info/?l=selinux&m=128112456326419&w=2

Run make clean.  Try again.
