Sorry, but I don't really understand your patch. With it, it would seem
that _AM_FILESYSTEM_TIMESTAMP_RESOLUTION is only called if the build
environment is not "sane", i.e., a created file is not newer than
configure. Is that right? (That embedded shell construct is hard to grok.)
is in _AM_FILESYSTEM_TIMESTAMP_RESOLUTION, whose sole purpose is to
determine a variable am_cv_filesystem_timestamp_resolution. The sole
use of this variable is in AM_SANITY_CHECK,
The timestamp resolution also used in Automake's t/ax/test-defs.in
(->.sh), and Automake's configure.ac, aka MTIME_RESOLUTION. With your
patch, how does it ever get defined?
Did you intend that Automake's configure.ac would then explicitly call
_AM_FILESYSTEM_TIMESTAMP_RESOLUTION (in which case it should probably be
renamed without a leading underscore), or am I misunderstanding the
whole thing? (Quite likely.) --thanks, karl.
