Not exactly. The libattr does use syscalls directly only on Linux,
it tries to use libc on other systems. It currently does not build
on GNU/kFreeBSD due to #531950. Glibc provides these functions as stubs.
For the 1st pass is sufficient to apply fix from #531950, later we can 
implement the needed functionality in our glibc.

This should suffice to break buildd loops. Some day later
we can really provide support for attr and ACLs.
