It would seem much more direct to simply attempt the lutimes and ignore an error of ENOSYS (Function not implemented). I don't think it's important for performance to make rsync not attempt lutimes again after an ENOSYS because IIRC, glibc's lutimes wrapper already does this. The current development rsync ignores all errors, but errors other than ENOSYS might be significant. For example, if the machine supports lutimes but the symlink belongs to another user, lutimes could fail with EPERM, and I would want to know about that just like for a regular file.
