Subject: [gentoo-portage-dev] PATCH: Use lchown and lchgrp no-op functions when operating on symlinks (#99616)

3 Similar to the usage of chown on Darwin in bug #98827, ebuild.sh uses chown
4 on symlinks which can alter the target where the intention is to modify the
5 symlink. This patch adds no-op lchown and lchgrp functions to ebuild.sh.
6 Profiles should override these to provide the correct implementation for
7 the specific userland.
