  I don't know exactly what the issue is that you are trying to
resolve here, but I suspect that the best answer (if possible), is to
have configure check for the existence of lchown, and use it if it is
there. The current chown/lchown mixup is a transient problem; I humbly 
suggest that it would be best to do the ideologically correct thing
and use the calls as POSIX intended.
