Hi,
I ran tests for automake 1.16.5 on OpenIndiana and following 4 tests
failed:

I'm guessing the Mac (and its sleep command?) do support subsecond

2006! The configure script for GNU make versions <4.0 did not have the right
test for subsecond resolution in the macOS stat() function, so 3.81 was built
with resolution only to the second, not subsecond, thus needi
