[bug-gnulib] chown.m4 patch from coreutils


From: Paul Eggert
Subject: [bug-gnulib] chown.m4 patch from coreutils
Date: Tue, 18 Jan 2005 15:21:38 -0800
User-agent: Gnus/5.1006 (Gnus v5.10.6) Emacs/21.3 (gnu/linux)

I installed this.  (I updated the copyright notice while I was at it.)

        * m4/chown.m4 (gl_FUNC_CHOWN): When cross-compiling, assume that chown
        is sane and DOES follow symlinks.  Besides, testing 20 different
        systems found no broken chown implementations.
        Prompted by a change in rsync's copy of this macro.
