Should this change be accompanied with a documentation change
in doc/posix-functions/utimensat.texi ?
It's not strictly needed, as Gnulib still works around bugs in older
systems, it's just that 'configure' now defaults to assuming the older
bugs don't exist instead of assuming that they do exist. Although I can
imagine documenting the assumption, this sort of thing hasn't been done
in the past.
And what about m4/futimens.m4 and doc/posix-functions/futimens.texi ?
Thanks, I missed that, and I should fix futimens to be consistent. I
installed the attached.
