Hi, I just fetched automake-1.12, built it on our no-distro x86-linux-gnu system
uname -r: 2.6.28.6-x86_64 (most binaries are 32-bit) /lib/libc-2.3.6.so /lib64/libc-2.3.6.so and got one test suite failure. FAIL: t/self-check-is_newest.tap 19 - is_newest u x It seems that 'touch -r x u' (on jfs) has truncated the timestamp, but I have also seen timestamps rounded upwards to the next second (I think). Therefore I would suggest to replace touch -r x u in self-check-is_newest.tap by touch -r x x; touch -r x u such that x's time first gets rounded (up or down) to the next second and then transferred to u.
