Compat utimensat() returns EINVAL when the tv_nsec is one of UTIME_OMIT or
UTIME_NOW and the tv_sec is set to non-zero.  As per man pages, the tv_sec
field should be ignored.

sys_utimensat() works fine in this case.

Test case:

#define _GNU_SOURCE
#define _ATFILE_SOURCE
#include <stdio.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
struct timespec ts[2];
struct timespec *tsp;

if (argc < 2) {
fprintf(stderr, "Usage : %s filename\n", argv[0]);
exit (-1);
}

ts[0].tv_nsec = ts[1].tv_nsec = UTIME_NOW;
ts[0].tv_sec = ts[1].tv_sec = 1;

tsp = ts;

if (utimensat(AT_FDCWD, argv[1],tsp,0) == -1)
perror("utimensat");
else
fprintf(stdout, "utimensat success\n");
return 0;
}
