When attempting to emerge sys-apps/attr on an ~x86 platform, I encountered the
following compile error:

---------- End log ------------

The affected file was attr-2.4.38/getfattr/getfattr.c .  The 'struct FTW' that
it wants is defined in /usr/include/ftw.h, but it is protected by #ifdef
guards.  
I changed line 31 in getfattr.c from

#include <ftw.h>

to 

#define _USE_XOPEN_EXTENDED 1
#include <ftw.h>
#undef _USE_XOPEN_EXTENDED

The undef probably isn't necessary.

Following this change, I used ebuild to complete the compilation and
installation process - it all seemed to work fine.

The man page for ftw indicates that the required #define is _XOPEN_SOURCE 500. 
However, when I tried this, it didn't help - hence why I had to dig through
ftw.h


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
emerge sys-apps/attr-2.4.38 on ax ~x86 platform.



In case it is meaningful, the output of emerge info:
