Yes; I knew that libc/stubs.h is special. So I looked there
at first, and I haven't found any #define chown __chown,
neither there was any function (in fact, single __file_exists)
referenced. So I assumed that removing it was safe. Is this
assumption wrong? Or is it general policy to #include <libc/stubs.h>
everywhere in libc sources to play safe?
