[issue15448] utimes() functions fail with ENOSYS even when detected by configure

[Richard Moseley]

New submission from Richard Moseley <dickie.moseley at virgin.net>:

When building on a ASUS Eee PC 1000 running the original Xandros O/S with libc-2.7-13, the various utimes() functions are being detected as available for use, everything compiles. However, during installation of the lib-dynload libraries, the error 'Error: Function not implemented' is given and the installation halts.

This problem has been tracked down to the fact that some of the utimes() functions will return ENOSYS rather than the expected result.

I have now patched the configure.ac script to check for the seven variants of the function, which is attached. This patch would ideally have made use of the same model as the AC_CHCEK_FUNCS macro but this would require adding a new file to the source tree.
