before being warned-off ACLs on osx, this had been part of my issue,

i'd found these symbols originate in libacl (e.g., cref
<http://www.novell.com/products/linuxpackages/enterpriseserver/SP1/ i386/libacl-devel.html>),
which i did not find on osx.

i never did find the original source's home page, but _was_ able to
extract the needed src from,

http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/development/ source/SRPMS/acl-2.2.39-1.1.src.rpm

with,

   rpm2cpio acl-2.2.39-1.1.src.rpm > acl-2.2.39-1.1.cpio
   cpio -idm < acl-2.2.39-1.1.cpio
   gnutar zxvf acl_2.2.39-1.tar.gz

but, as mentioned, i "gave up" on acls -- not needing them atm -- and
got no further.

hth a little.

Ahh, yes. If the patches are directed at linux and not really meant for OS X then that's a real show-stopper as the two (linux vs. mac os x) handle ACLs a little differently.

ACL support for OS X would be - well, - mighty fine, as ACLs for OS X Server (10.4) are quite useful and many are using them.
Here's hoping for the best !
