Really?
This seems to be the change you're talking about:
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/gnulib.git/commit/?id=26c5fd742f9136e2ddbd4

        utimens: remove invalid futimesat call
        * lib/utimens.c (fdutimens): Remove invalid futimesat call.
        It used the file descriptor of the target file as the DIR_FD
        parameter and NULL as the file name.  That caused failure with
        errno == EFAULT on FreeBSD-8.0-rc2

How could that cause a problem?
