Hi Kyle,
Based on your pvfs2-config.h, clearly configure checks are busted :(
We have a #undef HAVE_XATTR which means we don't include linux/xattr.h..
Hence the build error.
I am afraid we won't be able to fix configure if the kbuild system on
ppc64 spews out needless warnings that will error out with -Werror.
BTW: Can you download vanilla 2.6 kernel and see if kbuild works
without warnings.

I don't think this is related to a recent change. It has been like
this for a long time.
pvfs2-utils.c is not generated. it is part of the kernel module source.
The duplication of the #defines in pvfs2-types.h might be a recent
thing though.
thanks,
Murali

To (re?)clarify.  Not reproducible on x86_64.
I've included pvfs2-config this time :)

What's changed in the last three weeks that causes ppc64 to break in config?

Also, is pvfs2-utils.c being generated at configure time, I'm not seeing
warnings on x86-64.

One other thing to note, and certainly not critical, I noticed
PVFS_XATTR_CREATE/REPLACE are being defined twice in pvfs2-types.h
