Thx, but unfortunately the Makefile reports an error:

...
checking for attr_list_by_handle in -lhandle... yes
checking attr/xattr.h usability... no
checking attr/xattr.h presence... no
checking for attr/xattr.h... no

FATAL ERROR: attr/xattr.h does not exist.
Install the extended attributes (attr) development package.
Alternatively, run "make install-dev" from the attr source.

Where/how should I fix this xattr.h build-bug?

System is debian 8 x86_64, testing in a chrooted environment (lxc app container).
