From what I have read online this code was fixed in version 3.0.8. If am rebuilding in the exact same environment audit-3.1.2-2.el9.src.rpm downloaded from CentOS 9 package repository, then it succeeds.

@denisgabriel5 you mentioned the code was fixed in 3.0.8. You're building a 3.0.6 package!

Well, that's because AL2023 repo doesn't have the package up-to-date. I am trying to use only packages from AL2023 repo.
