This one should go into the FAQ...., it's a commmon pitfall. I'm not sure 
if this is already fixed in 1.1.0, but at least in a recent GIT version 
you can add WITHOUT_XATTR=1 to the make command to compile without 
Posix ACL (which, IMHO, should be the default because I never came across 
any embedded system which uses Posix ACLs). 

Ciao, 

Peter
