This is IMO not going to work. AC_CHECK_FUNCS will not success if you
don't have libc with xattrs support; you should use AC_SEARCH_LIBS (in
'attr' library). Look at configure.ac and acl-related checks.
Actually, Anthony is right and this will work.
AC_CHECK_LIB([attr], [fgetxattr])
will add -lattr to LIBS. Afterwards, AC_CHECK_FUNCS will use $LIBS when
linking so it'll pick up -lattr.
Of course AC_SEARCH_LIBS is also an option, as it avoids linking in a
fictitious libattr if the OS provides it for compatibility reasons while
providing the functions as part of the C library.
But the code is not wrong in that regard :)

Sorry for the delay in responding, busy week.
I did test all possibilities and the code does work. But let me rework
it using AC_SEARCH_LIBS and avoiding the AM_CONDITIONAL([TAR_LIB_ATTR]
and I'll resubmit.
