Subject: [PATCH] chmod: fix erroneous warnings with -R --changes

For files with "special" bits set, we would stat the relative
file name in the wrong directory, giving an erroneous ENOENT diagnostic.
This issue was introduced with commit v5.92-653-gc1994c1
which changed fts to not change directory on traversal.

* src/chmod.c (mode_changed): Use fts->fts_cwd_fd with fstatat rather
than stat.  All callers changed.
* tests/chmod/c-option.sh: Add a test case.
* NEWS: Mention the fix.
Fixes http://bugs.gnu.org/17035

 ** Bug fixes
 
+  chmod -Rc no longer issues erroneous warnings for files with special bits set.
+  [bug introduced in coreutils-6.0]
+
   cp -a, mv, and install --preserve-context, once again set the correct SELinux
   context for existing directories in the destination.  Previously they set
   the context of an existing directory to that of its last copied descendent.
