That's a bug in the m4 script. Thanks for calling it to my attention - the test should be inverted: if (futimens(AT_FDCWD,NULL)==0). Recent glibc was fixed, but we replace futimens anyways on glibc in order to cater to people compiling with newer glibc but older kernels, so no one noticed. -- Eric Blake ebl...@redhat.com +1-801-349-2682 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
