#ifndef HAVE_LCHMOD

/* The lchmod replacement follows symbolic links.  Callers should take
   this into account; lchmod should be applied only to arguments that
   are known to not be symbolic links.  On hosts that lack lchmod,
   this can lead to race conditions between the check and the
   invocation of lchmod, but we know of no workarounds that are
   reliable in general.  You might try requesting support for lchmod
   from your operating system supplier.  */
