Summary: Run a command in an environment faking root privileges for file manipulation
Description:
fakeroot runs a command in an environment were it appears to have root privileges for file manipulation. This is useful for allowing users to createarchives (tar, ar, .rpm etc.) with files in them with root permissions/ownership. Without fakeroot one would have to have root privileges to create the constituent files of the archives with the correct permissions and ownership, and then pack them up, or one would have to construct the archives directly, without using the archiver.

- Fixed a compiler error of older GCCs (for p10) in the wrapper for syscall function. - Warn the maintainer if a function definition is missing (when it is not generated for special cases like calling a variadic function like syscall). - Added Large-File support in all internal actions (for emulating mknod with a normal file; storing internal database; and for querying the fake owner). - Shut up a few compiler warnings.
