By the way, I had to go digging to see what you were replying to. The
original thread that you quoted, without any In-Reply-To field, and
without attribution to Donald J. Axel or Paul Eggert, dated from
4/25/2006; back then, utimensat did not exist. It would have been
nice to
give just a bit more context to make it obvious that you were
responding
to a 3-year-old thread. It is only with the recent POSIX 2008
addition of
utimensat that we can support touching symlink timestamps, as well
as full
nanosecond resolution.
Okay great. These are good points. Your searching efforts are
appreciated.
For anyone else trying to cross reference. I found this thread at the
following URL with a web search :

If I am able to help then just let me know. Even if this is just with
in regards to testing.
