Here's a patch to rsync.spec that lets you say "--without lutimes" to
override detection and build without support for lutimes. (It's a bit
hackish, but it works.)
You can see the reason at
https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4977 ; here's a summary:
rsync will make calls to lutimes (to change the mtime of symlinks) if
support for lutimes is detected at build-time. lutimes support appears
to be fs-specific, so calls to lutimes can fail even on systems where
the build-time detection succeeds. This results in potentially large
numbers of error messages, which aren't likely to mean anything
important (it means the symlinks created by rsync don't have the mtime
of the symlink it was copying - the symlink does exist, and the target
is unaffected).
Since there isn't a run-time option to tell rsync to not call lutimes, I
made this patch to provide a build-time option to never call lutimes.
