It has libattr-2.4.41, which is too old for our code.
Problem reported by Po Lu <https://bugs.gnu.org/60843>.
* m4/xattr.m4 (gl_FUNC_XATTR): Check that we can use
ATTR_ACTION_PERMISSIONS, too.  Refactor so that there’s a single
test program that we compile and link, rather than doing the tests
in dribs and drabs.
