The commands use kernel header files, XFS_MODE is defined in fs/xfs/xfs_arch.h
based upon configuration options. Under the filesystems section of kernel
configuration options there are several options for XFS, the supported
architecture field is one of these, you need to pick Native or MIPS.
Also note that unless you turn on experimental kernel options, none of the
xfs options will be available. 

As a side note to this, the initial xfs on linux was not compatible with disks
from Irix systems, the work to do the endian conversion has been on going. We
will shortly be switching over from 'native' to mips format. This will mean
that any filesystems formatted as 'native' on an i386 will become unreadable.
