[parisc-linux] touch fails on hppa because utimes is the devil.

[Carlos O'Donell]

r,

touch failing is all about the configure.

readelf -a src/touch | grep utime
00027600  00000581 R_PARISC_IPLT     00000000   utime + 0
     5: 00000000    76 FUNC    GLOBAL DEFAULT  UND utime@GLIBC_2.2 (2)
   123: 00000000    76 FUNC    GLOBAL DEFAULT  UND utime@@GLIBC_2.2
   203: 00014ca0    48 FUNC    GLOBAL DEFAULT   11 utimens

readelf -a /usr/bin/touch | grep utime
000274c0  00000581 R_PARISC_IPLT     00000000   utime + 0
00027500  00000e81 R_PARISC_IPLT     00000000   utimes + 0
     5: 00000000    68 FUNC    GLOBAL DEFAULT  UND utime@GLIBC_2.2 (2)
    14: 00000000   232 FUNC    GLOBAL DEFAULT  UND utimes@GLIBC_2.2 (2)

In the newly built touch we don't use "utimes"
So I dug a bit:

configure:27240: checking determine whether the utimes function works
configure:27282: hppa-linux-gcc -o conftest -g -DSYSLOG_SUCCESS
-DSYSLOG_FAILURE -DSYSLOG_NON_ROOT -O2   conftest.c  >&5
configure:27285: $? = 0
configure:27287: ./conftest
configure:27290: $? = 1
configure: program exited with status 1
configure: failed program was:
...
configure:27304: result: no

Sombody should sick themselves on this failure? Takers? :)
