Here, too. Oddly, the CURL_CHECK_FUNC_SETXATTR autoconf macro doesn't
actually attempt to #include <sys/xattr.h>, but for some reason includes
sys/uio.h instead; I can't figure out what's supposed to go on in there.
That macro is 83 lines long but doesn't seem to me to do anything more useful
than a simple macro like this:

AC_LINK_IFELSE([
#include <sys/xattr.h>
int main(void) { (void)setxattr(NULL,NULL,NULL,0,0); }
],[ AC_MSG_RESULT(yes)
AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED(HAVE_SETXATTR, 1, [Define to 1 if you have the setxattr function])
],AC_MSG_RESULT(no))
