The issue is the lack of the xattr headers from what I saw, not the
xattr support itself and we're missing what looks like a single define.
For the complexity, I did wonder if we should ship a default...

Adding in the xattr-native dependency may well be easier than updating
the docs on dependencies on all the different distros.
