If I understand correctly, the following from its output means 
that libc/stubs.h is missing:

Impure stub chown.o(access) -> stub0000.o
Impure stub fsext.o(close) -> stub0002.o
Impure stub tempnam.o(access) -> stub0000.o
Impure stub malloc.o(sbrk) -> stub0031.o
Impure stub fwrite.o(isatty) -> stub0008.o

I've just included libc/stubs.h in chown.c and the first line of 
output disappeared. I'll investigate other problems mentioned there.
