The latest rsync change disables xattr when there is no lgetxattr() function. There is however, an option of the getxattr function to act on the symlink.

     XATTR_NOFOLLOW  do not follow symbolic links.  getxattr() normally
returns information from the target of path if it is a symbolic link. With this option, getxattr() will return extended attribute data from the symbolic link instead.

Is it possible to have xattr support back for Mac OSX.
