| I have it, and the function is named rpl_fchownat. I think there is no 
problem USING it, as the compilation succeeds, if I comment out the 
CXXALIASWARN line. I think the problem is that the alias warning is "attached 
to" an non-existing function (fchownat).

Please report the problem to the gnulib maintainers.  It is not
something that we will fix only in the copy of the gnulib sources that
are included with Octave.  The problem should be fixed in gnulib, for
the benefit of everyone who uses gnulib.
