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.
