Comment (by Duncan Exon Smith <duncanphilipnorman@…>):

 Another note:  `AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW` does not appear to be supported even
 in Linux.
  - See http://www.kernel.org/doc/man-

 pages/online/pages/man2/fchmodat.2.html
  - Quote from flags description:
  {{{
        AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW
               If pathname is a symbolic link, do not dereference it:
 instead operate
               on the link itself.  This flag is not currently implemented.
 }}}
  - Quote from `ERRORS`:
  {{{
        ENOTSUP
               flags specified AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW, which is not supported.
 }}}
  - Perhaps it's premature to use `fchmodat()`, especially since its main
 feature -- acting relative to `dirfd` -- is not even being used.
