I just downloaded and built Backup-Bouncer with the latest LLVM compiler (Xcode 4.5.2). make throws several compiler warnings, which should be addressed:

Specifically, there are a couple of variables named 'size' used to store the result of getxattr() and listxattr(). The problem is that they are size_t vars, but getxattr() and listxattr() return ssize_t. The subsequent tests to see if size if negative are meaningless.
Finally, there's an unused variable.
Here's the fixes that correct the problems and eliminate the compiler warnings:
