  Portability problems fixed by Gnulib:
  @itemize
  @item
  Some platforms fail to detect trailing slash on non-directories, as in
  @code{fchown(dir,"link-to-file/",uid,gid,flag)}:
  Solaris 9.
  @item
  Some platforms mistakenly dereference symlinks when using
  @code{AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW}:
  Linux kernel 2.6.17.
  @item
  This function does not fail for an empty filename on some platforms:
  Linux with glibc < 2.11.
  @item
  This function is missing on some platforms:
  glibc 2.3.6, MacOS X 10.5, FreeBSD 6.0, NetBSD 5.0, OpenBSD 3.8, AIX
  5.1, HP-UX 11, IRIX 6.5, OSF/1 5.1, Cygwin 1.5.x, mingw, Interix 3.5, BeOS.
  But the replacement function is not safe to be used in libraries and
  is not multithread-safe.  Also, the replacement may fail to change
  symlinks if @code{lchown} is unsupported, or fail altogether if
  @code{chown} is unsupported.
