Subject: Trouble with /lib/libselinux and linking

I have written a simple program that uses SELinux API but when I try to
compile it, gcc gives me an error says that it's unable to resolve reference
to getcon() function.
The program is like:

#include <selinux/selinux.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int main(int argc,char *argv[]){
	security_context_t scontext;
	if(getcon(&scontext))....
}

The only way is to link statically the library and thus if I use "gcc
-lselinux program.c" all works...
Moreover if I use nm on libselinux.so, I don't receive any output..Isn't it
unusual?  
Anyone can give me a explanation?
