Any ideas why?
In the Python source, I see this
(https://hg.python.org/cpython/file/c5603b77df68/pyconfig.h.in#l477):
/* Define to 1 if you have the 'lchflags' function. */
#undef HAVE_LCHFLAGS
/* Define to 1 if you have the `lchmod' function. */
#undef HAVE_LCHMOD
and those macros are used to conditionalize those functions in
posixmodule.c. That doesn't explain why a platform has or doesn't have
lchmod, but "man lchmod" might fail for you also, as it does for me on
Ubuntu.
