I am using m68k-uclinux-tools-20060615 used with the uClinux
distribution for embedded systems.

I was pointed to this link to answer why ACL is used in mkfs.jffs2.

http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.drivers.mtd/16740/focus=16745

This is an excerpt from the above link.
"The access control list(ACL) enables higher flexible access control
based on UNIX users and groups than traditional user/group/others model.
'--with-xattr' or '--with-posix-acl' options on mkfs.jffs2 enables to
copy the ACLs associated with any files in host environment into jffs2
image file.
The purpose of this feature is improvement of security in embedded region."

This link also describes the compile flag WITHOUT_XATTR=1 which will disable this code.
