Portability problems not fixed by Gnulib:
@itemize
@item
This function is missing on some platforms:
mingw, Interix 3.5, BeOS.
@item
On some platforms, this function mis-handles trailing slash:
FreeBSD 7.2, Solaris 9.
@item
This function cannot set full timestamp resolution.  In particular,
some platforms incorrectly round rather than truncate.  Use
@code{utimensat(AT_FDCWD,file,times,0)}, or the gnulib module utimens,
instead.
@item
On some platforms, @code{utimes (file, NULL)} fails to set the
file's timestamp to the current time:
glibc 2.3.3.
@item
On some platforms, @code{utimes} failed on read-only files when
@code{utime} worked fine.
glibc 2.2.5.
