/*
  In Linux 2.1.x the chown functions have been changed.  A new function lchown
  was introduced.  The new chown now follows symlinks - the old chown and the
  new lchown do not follow symlinks.
  The new lchown function has the same number as the old chown had and the
  new chown has a new number.  When compiling with headers from Linux > 2.1.8x
  it's impossible to run this libc with older kernels.  In these cases libc
  has therefore to route calls to chown to the old chown function.
