According to Andreas Schwab on 6/3/2008 2:00 AM:

| You would also lose the capability to build on a system with an old
| kernel, but new glibc (eg in a chroot), and getting the same result as
| if building on the target system.  Runtime configure checks should be
| avoided as much as possible, especially if they depend on the kernel
| (the only part you cannot replace in a chroot).

Convincing argument.  I've checked in my patch, so that gnulib now uses a
runtime fallback when utimensat fails with ENOSYS.
