1 /* This function serves as replacement for a missing fchownat function,
2 as well as a workaround for the fchownat bug in glibc-2.4:
3 <https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-users/2006-September/093218.html>
4 when the buggy fchownat-with-AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW operates on a symlink, it
5 mistakenly affects the symlink referent, rather than the symlink itself.
