I'm using Cygwin as my POSIX toolbox.
But, note that touch writes timestamps in the current timezone by default. It could be that your timezone (which you also didn't specify) makes a difference, when you are talking about timestamps right at the edge of the epoch. If you force UTC, for example: $ TZ=UTC make does it make a difference in behavior?
That was it; i.e. no 'has modification time'. -- --gv
