You need the file-system extended attributes related header files, but
you lack of them for some reason.

You can try to get them from http://sosdg.org/~coywolf/lxr/source/ or
re-install your kernel headers packages, or just get updated ones.

I hope it helps ;)

Which software is providing these headers ? glibc ?

If you have a modern glibc (>= 2.3) built against modern kernel headers
(>= 2.4.20, or any 2.6 kernel), then getxattr/setxattr and sys/xattr.h
should be provided by glibc.  Previously, they were provided by libattr,
with its header in attr/xattr.h, but since the xattr system calls were
mainstreamed, glibc has been supporting them directly.
