Should work for the kernels on the released slink install disks, at
some point I have added actually added an lchown entry to 2.0.36
kernels.
But it would be best if we add a patch similar to the one of glibc2.0
in glibc2.1 so that we can forget the lchown issue in the future. I
would say the POSIX behaviour should only be enforced in glibc only
after every program in the dist has been POSIX/chown compliant for a
long enough time. In between the current glibc2.0 behaviour is safe in
every case.
