Building a testdir for module 'utime-h' with C++ tests on MSVC, I see this
error:
../gllib\utime.h(646): error C2440: 'return': cannot convert from 'int (__cdecl
*)(const char *const ,_utimbuf *const )' to 'gnulib::_gl_utime_wrapper::type'
../gllib\utime.h(646): note: This conversion requires a reinterpret_cast, a
C-style cast or function-style cast
make[5]: *** [Makefile:784: test-utime-h-c++.obj] Error 2
This patch fixes it.

* lib/utime.in.h (utime): Use _GL_CXXALIAS_MDA_CAST instead of
_GL_CXXALIAS_MDA.
