Summary: posixmodule uses utimes, which is broken in glibc-2.3.2

Initial Comment:
Maybe this is category 'Build' ... at least it results
in '1970/01/01-01:00:01' timestamps on all files copied
by distutils on glibc-2.3.2 based systems (2.3.1 seems
to be ok).

Disabling the detection of the utimes function in
configure works around this. As this function is a
wrapper around utime, why not use this one directly? Or
check, if utimes correctly works.
