This just means that either the libc or the kernel lack the support for
the actual fchownat syscall.  The emulation code is using chown on files
in /proc/self/fd and this is what you see here.


The one thing that is wrong is that /proc/self/fd/3/test.txt doesn't
exist.  The "files" in /proc/*/fd are something like symlinks.
