Subject: OS/2 has no concept of file ownership, like DOS & MS Windows version
X-Git-Tag: v2.3c1~1767

OS/2 has no concept of file ownership, like DOS & MS Windows version
prior to NT.  EMX has a number of Posix emulation routines, including
geteuid() but lacks chown(), so silently skip trying to actually set
a file ownership when extracting a file from a tar archive.
