I guess https://github.com/Stebalien/xattr/issues/18 is what you see? 
There's workaround for this in xattr v0.2.2, but I thought is fixed by 
following rust's libc patches which define ENOATTR as ENODATA:

* src_vendor_libc_src_unix_solaris_mod.rs.patch
* src_liblibc_src_unix_solaris_mod.rs.patch

But yes along the way there are another platform-specific problems like:

error[E0432]: unresolved import `self::libc::TIOCGWINSZ`
  --> 
/export/home/newman/.cargo/registry/src/github.com-1ecc6299db9ec823/termsize-0.1.5/src/nix.rs:4:33
   |
4 | use self::libc::{STDOUT_FILENO, TIOCGWINSZ, c_ushort};
   |                                 ^^^^^^^^^^ no `TIOCGWINSZ` in the root
