Portability problems fixed by Gnulib:

Portability problems not fixed by Gnulib:

• This function is missing on some platforms: Mac OS X 10.4, OpenBSD 3.8, Minix 3.1.8, AIX 5.1, HP-UX 11, IRIX 6.5, OSF/1 5.1, Solaris 11 2011-11, mingw, MSVC 9, Interix 3.5, BeOS.
• This function cannot set full timestamp resolution. Use utimensat(AT_FDCWD,file,times,AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW), or the gnulib module utimens, instead.
• The mere act of using lstat modifies the access time of symlinks on some platforms, so lutimes can only effectively change modification time: Cygwin.
