glibc 2.1 has an elegant solution to the chown/lchown mess for powerpc Linux.
Most other Linux architectures also need a solution like this.
I know that the i386 kluge has been submitted by various folks for
other Linux architectures, and has been (rightly so) resoundingly
rejected.
So, here are diffs to port the powerpc solution to sparc32, m68k, and
alpha (the Debian glibc maintainer has received various requests to
add chown patches (usually derivitives of the i386 kluge :() for each
of those architectures. I agree that the patches are needed, and I'd
prefer not to diverge from the upstream sources if at all possible).
Thanks.
