219458, hppa does not support utimes, it supports utime. During the last coreutils build it seems that configure was confused and thought hppa *had* utimes, but it does not.

(cached) yes My local system detects gawk, finds a nanosecond member for stat, but notices that utimes does *not* work under hppa, and instead uses utime. The reason for the erroneous detection can only be confirmed by looking at the config.log. I tested a coreutils rebuild and it works fine.
