+ 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.
