Re: spy.test in 1.9.3 release under solaris

[Andy Shelley]

Modified spy.test to inject a little perl in the process to stat the 
files and return current epoch time, just as a reference point.
Doing the "MAKE='make -d' ./spy.test" again, relevant results:

[...]
+ touch c
+ perl /tmp/f
current:1100106790
a => 1100106788
b => 1100106787
c => 1100106790
+ make -d
GNU Make version 3.79.1, by Richard Stallman and Roland McGrath.
Built for sparc-sun-solaris2.8

Unpacking the archive to start fresh, ./configure; make; cd tests and 
edit spy.test to include mtime reporting.. I get similar results.

I am baffled.
