It turns out we don't need to do this (tested it on leaf).  I was
complaining on IRC about this, but it was because I forgot to add a
prototype to sys/stat.h (duh)!

The build system doesn't actually use the -h flag (hence the lchflags
syscall) so we don't need to conditionalize it, because installworld
will install a new version (of course the standard disclaimer of having
a world out-of-sync with kernel applies).
