+Subject: Switch back to syscall()
+
+Switch back to syscall() for the *xattr system calls.  The current
+mechanism of forwarding those calls to glibc breaks libraries like
+libfakeroot (fakeroot) and libasan (the gcc address sanitizer; gcc
+-fsanitize=address).
+
+Those libraries provide wrappers for functions defined in other shared
+libraries, usually glibc, do their own processing, and forward calls to
+the original symbols looke dup via dlsym(RTLD_NEXT, "symbol_name").  In
+our case, dlsym returns the libattr_*xattr wrappers.  However, when our
+wrappers try calling glibc, they end up calling the libfakeroot /
+libasan wrappers instead because those override the original symbols =>
+recursion.
+
+The libattr_*xattr wrappers will only be used when symbols are looked up
+at runtime (dlopen / dlsym).  Programs linking against libattr will
+directly use the glibc provided symbols.  Therefore, the slightly worse
+performance of syscall() won't affect any of the "normal" users of
+libattr.
