In this case, the diagnostic is "Operation not permitted" (from EPERM):
$ ./a.out /
lchown: Operation not permitted
fchownat: Operation not permitted
chown: Operation not permitted
fchown: Operation not permitted
$ strace ./a.out /
...
lchown("/", 0, 0) = -1 EPERM (Operation not permitted)

fcntl(3, F_GETFL) = 0x2 (flags O_RDWR)
