gnulib gl_futimens error

[Rob Vermaas]

Hi,

while building gzip using the latest gnulib, the following error occurred:

  CCLD   gzip
gzip.o: In function `copy_stat':

It appears that in the latest gnulib the function gl_futimens has been
removed. (see: 
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/gnulib.git/diff/?id=41bef8fc30ef91935fd31eb920447210a0e2cd6a&id2=025fae6d61b82020179feb5c72d3747f1ce351c4
)
The call to gl_futimens can be replaced by a call to fdutimens. See
patch attached.


greetings,
Rob
