  Portability problems fixed by Gnulib:
  @itemize
  @item
  This function is missing on some platforms; however, the replacement
  fails with @code{ENOSYS}:
  mingw, MSVC 14.
  @item
  This function is missing on some platforms; however, the replacement
  fails on symlinks:
  Minix 3.2.1.
  @item
  Some platforms fail to detect trailing slash on non-directories, as in
  @code{lchown("link-to-file/",uid,gid)}:
  FreeBSD 7.2, Solaris 9.
  @item
  Some platforms fail to update the change time when at least one
  argument was not -1, but no ownership changes resulted.  However,
  without @code{lchmod}, the replacement only fixes this for non-symlinks:
  OpenBSD 4.0.

  Portability problems not fixed by Gnulib:
  @itemize
  @item
  This function sometimes fails with @code{EACCES} when the failure is
  due to lack of appropriate privileges (@code{EPERM}), not to
  search permission denied on the file name prefix (@code{EACCES}):
  Linux kernel 5.15 with glibc 2.35 and a CIFS v1 file system
  (see @url{https://bugs.gnu.org/65599}).
  @end itemize
