The config.log of xfsprogs-3.0.3 includes a link to some e2fs library path:
...
configure:2544: checking for C compiler default output file name

...

I do not expect an e2fs-library path in xfsprogs.config. Maybe a 
dependency to e2fs? Or is it just a bug?

I bumbed xfsprogs to 3.1.2 temporarily but this version failed to build.

Newer kernel versions and newer xfsprogs version fixes some issues for 
using xfs on arm devices.
