Both of these macros are defined to 1.  The error happens in line 454
(changed to:)

  if (aclx_get (file1, 0, &type1, acl1, &aclsize1, &mode1) < 0)
    {
      fprintf (stderr, "error accessing the ACLs of file %s: %d, %s\n", file1, 
errno, strerror(errno));
      fflush (stderr);
      abort ();
    }

leads to:

$ ./test-sameacls tmpfile0 tmpfile1
error accessing the ACLs of file tmpfile0: 109, Function not implemented
zsh: abort (core dumped)  ./test-sameacls tmpfile0 tmpfile1

I haven't grokked yet why these are not implemented.
