Maybe this is a silly question, but, is there a reason why this test
needs to be performed in every single package that uses Automake?
I was under the impression that the purpose of this test was merely
to speed up running Automake's own test suite.
There are other packages that have many tests that presumably
also substantially benefit?
If it only benefitted automake, it would not have been worth it, given
the significant complications and hassle that have ensued. But since all
that work has already been done, I'd hate to throw it away now.
I'll put a note in NEWS about how to effectively override the test, i.e.,
am_cv_filesystem_timestamp_resolution=1
export am_cv_filesystem_timestamp_resolution
I believe (untested). -k
