This does not compile on some systems, sys/xattr.h works (it's provided
by glibc) and is also used by other fstests' sources. I'm not sure where
does attr/xattr.h come from, my devel package for libattr provides only
attr/libattr.h.
This was removed from attr back in 2015 [1] but apparently caused
many aplications to no longer compile, so some packagers added
attr/xattr.h back, completing the cycle of confusion.
I just randomly remembered because Gentoo fell into the same sinkhole
and is still climbing out [2].
AFAIK sys/xattr.h is the preferred thing now unless you are building on
an ancient distro.
