GNU POSIX chown

Is there a POSIX compliant version of "chown" available, from GNU
or elsewhere?  This particular utility doesn't seem to be included
in the GNU file utilites, v1.4.

The reason that I need it:  I've compiled a POSIX compliant bash1.07
for ISC Unix 2.2 on the 386.  But ISC's file utilties are not all
POSIX compliant, creating problems when using them under POSIX shells.

E.g., ISC's "mv", running under POSIX bash, when renaming a directory,
creates the new directory name, but fails to delete the original --
resulting in LINKED DIRECTORIES.  However the GNU file utilities v1.4 "mv",
compiled with "gcc -posix -traditional", has no such problems.

(I don't always read this group, so email would be appreciated.  I'll
summarize.)

			Sincerely yours,

			Saul Lubkin
