If you are using UFS, it is expected to work.  Can you download current
git master and confirm if configure runs without any special options?
We now bail if we don't detect posix ACLs at that point.  

If that fails, then your bin/config.log might be of assistance in
working out why we didn't find the posix ACL headers, plus information
on where the ACL functions are to be found on your system.
