Ah, that makes sense. Didn't spot the difference in signature before.

Linux:
       ssize_t listxattr (const char *path,
                            char *list, size_t size);

So options is new.

There are several ways. You can try this for starters:

AC_CHECK_DECLS([XATTR_NOFOLLOW],,, [[#include <sys/xattr.h>]])

Again check the config.h for the HAVE_ define.

Cheers,
