~jgg/work/fakeroot-0.0 on faure
There are two controls at the top of libfakeroot.c, LCHOWN_SUPPORT and
STAT64_SUPPORT.
I know lchown works OK, but due to the sparc with 2.1 being nasty I could
not test the stat64 support. If you compile ls on a 2.1 machine it seems
to enable the large file support and generates stat64 calls that the old
fakeroot did not trap.
