+       Work around an fchownat bug in glibc-2.4:
+       http://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-users/2006-September/093218.html
+       This bug would cause "chown -RP ... DIR" to follow symlinks in DIR,
+       in spite of the -P option.
+       * m4/openat.m4 (gl_FUNC_FCHOWNAT, gl_FUNC_FCHOWNAT_DEREF_BUG):
+       New macros.
+       (gl_PREREQ_OPENAT): Require gl_FUNC_FCHOWNAT.
+       * modules/openat (Files): Add lib/fchownat.c.
+       * lib/openat.c (fchownat): Don't define here.  Move to...
+       * lib/fchownat.c: ...this new file.
