Hallo,

I built a system with LFS 8.1 on i5-3350 and wanted to add some tools
from BLFS 8.1.
When building unzip 6.0 from source I noticed a compiler warning: lchmod
will always fail.

Truly, there's a hint in <gnu/stub-64.h> that some syscalls are not
supported and will always fail; lchmod is one of them.

I managed to compile unzip 6.0 by defining NO_LCHMOD in the Makefile but
I'm not completely sure about the implications. Obviously unzip now can
no longer modify symlink attributes, but I cannot judge if this is a
serious restriction. Given the significance of unzip on unix it's
negligible imho. Any other thoughts?

Tschau...Thomas
