The configure script is generated from "configure.in". It looks like all you have to do is add an extra test inside the "darwin*" case on line 892 to check if $host_os matches darwin[4567].* and, if so, define an additional macro HAVE_PRE_TIGER_OSX_ATTRS. Then lib/sysxattrs.* can test "#ifdef HAVE_PRE_TIGER_OSX_ATTRS". You also need to make sure that the configure script enables "xattr support" by default (really the 10.3-specific pseudo-xattr support) even though 10.3 fails all of the tests for the real xattr headers. Probably the way to do this is to add getattrlist to the list of functions on line 555 whose presence is tested and add it on line 920 as one of the functions whose presence indicates that xattrs are worth a try.
