I see now .. due to my mistake in commit b997c90f9 (AC_CHECK_FUNCS has
different semantics, fixed by previously attached patch), the commit
48a546b02 started to detect sys/xattrs.h which is also on darwin (but
incompatible and the HAVE_XATTRS became defined.  This also started
'# include <sys/xattr.h>'in xattrs-at.h (even when --without-xattrs was
passed).  Because of this, compiler started complaining.

That was just badly applied patch.  You forgot to pass -p1 paremeter to
patch.  Just do 'patch -p1 < 0001-*' from tar-1.28 directory.
