Rats:
$ ./chmod u+w f
./chmod: changing permissions of 'f': Operation not supported
That fix introduces chmod failures on several important systems,
including my Fedora 17 desktop ;-)
I confess that I had not tested it, and had missed or forgotten
this part of the GNU/Linux/fchmodat documentation:
AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW
If pathname is a symbolic link, do not dereference it: instead
operate on the link itself. This flag is not currently imple-
mented.
The nixos/hydra build server is reporting failures, too:
