Is that when you invoked "make install"?  I don't see 'chown' invoked
in Makefiles anywhere else.

If this is part of "make install", do you have the 'chown' command
installed in your MSYS tree?  If not, you need to install the MSYS
"coreutils-extra" package, where you will find chown.exe and some
other useful utilities.  (I have no idea why the MSYS developers
separated Coreutils into 2 binary packs.)

Well, chown is largely a no-op on Windows, so it doesn't surprise me
that it's working.
