Thanks for the report.  Which kernel and which version of glibc?  Is it a
machine I might have access to, like the gcc compile farm?

The Linux man pages are explicit that older kernels had a bug where
UTIME_OMIT with a non-zero seconds field failed with EINVAL instead of
working, but I thought my code path already worked around this.  Can you
check what errno was set to?  Or even better, single-step through
utimens.c at that point to see why validate_timespec() doesn't seem to be
doing the trick.
