touch gets stuck for named pipes

[ipif]

Hi,
I'm using coreutils-7.2 on an embedded sparc V8 with linux-2.6.21 and
uclibc-0.9.30.
The problem is, that in utime.c(73) it is tried to read a char from the file
and to write it back. As the fifo is empty touch gets stuck waiting for
input.
Because I'm crosscompiling HAVE_WORKING_UTIMES is always unset. Exporting
gl_cv_func_working_utimes solved this for me, but no the issue at all.
This also applies for coreutils-6.9.

gdb output:
(gdb) run /root/test
Starting program: /bin/touch /root/test

Program received signal SIGINT, Interrupt.
