Scratch that, it seems it's indeed not needed. The thing is that every
time a set up a new test machine I have to install libattr1-dev, but I
never looked into it in detail.
So libattr1-dev is needed because mkfs includes attr/xattr.h to be able
to create FS from image with extended attributes. I think it's safe to
change attr/xattr.h include to sys/xattr.h and thus get rid of this
build dependency. (attr/xattr.h seems to be there for compatibility
with SGI IRIX)
I built mkfs with sys/xattr.h and created FS from directory containing
files with xattrs, it worked.
Thanks,
Ilya
