+# See if we need to work around bugs in glibc's implementation of utimes
+# from around July/August 2003.
+# First, there was a bug that would make utimes set mtime and atime
+# to zero (1970-01-01) unconditionally.
+# Then, there is/was code to round rather than truncate.
+#
+# From Jim Meyering, with suggestions from Paul Eggert.
