rsync currently fails to build in stable. After a little debugging we found that it builds on recent kernels but not on <= SLES10
we got to this:
./sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/kernel-features.h defines __ASSUME_UTIMENSAT depending on the kernel version we are building the glibc for. Since the glibc is build for down to 2.6.4, this is "0".
in ./sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/futimes.c there is a nice implementation for a fallback if utimensat get's enosys.
no the other hand: in ./sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/lutimes.c there is no fallback implementation and the call to lutimes fails for any kernel that does not support the syscall yet.
