Hmm, you can try to things.

One is to fake the file. You'll need another .la file, copy it to your 
prefix/lib and rename it to libattr.la
Then you modify it (it is a simple text file) so that all its internal 
reference to the original library are also replaced with libattr

Second option is to check which package of your distribution contains the 
libattr.so files.
Then get the respective source package, extract it (rather than have it 
installed by the package manager) and compile and install it inot your 
prefix.

I couldn't find a direct source package for libattr, maybe it is part of a 
bigger one.

Cheers.
Kevin
