And on top of that, it would break the Windows build, because gnulib
functions called by Emacs can no longer call libc functions that
accept file names, since we now pass UTF-8 encoded file names to them.
So where formerly fchmod was a no-op that always succeeded, fnchmod
will now be a no-op that always fails, and filelock.c will stop
working.
