# See if we need to work around bugs in glibc's implementation of
# utimes from 2003-07-12 to 2003-09-17.
# First, there was a bug that would make utimes set mtime
# and atime to zero (1970-01-01) unconditionally.
# Then, there was code to round rather than truncate.
# Then, there was an implementation (sparc64, Linux-2.4.28, glibc-2.3.3)
# that didn't honor the NULL-means-set-to-current-time semantics.
# Finally, there was also a version of utimes that failed on read-only
# files, while utime worked fine (linux-2.2.20, glibc-2.2.5).
#
# From Jim Meyering, with suggestions from Paul Eggert.
