futimes.c seems to be indeed broken the same way (sorry, missed it).
But sysdeps/posix/utimes.c is not:
      times->actime = tvp[0].tv_sec + tvp[0].tv_usec / 1000000;
      times->modtime = tvp[1].tv_sec + tvp[1].tv_usec / 1000000;
The question is what is utimes/futimes supposed to do if
tv_usec > 999999. I couldn't find anything in POSIX about it, so
I don't know which one of:
tvp[0].tv_sec + (tvp[0].tv_usec >= 500000)
tvp[0].tv_sec + tvp[0].tv_usec / 1000000
tvp[0].tv_sec + (tvp[0].tv_usec + 500000) / 1000000
is needed (but then, it should probably used everywhere, not
one way in some *utimes.c implementations and differently in others.

	* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/futimes.c (__utimes): Add parens so that
	actime and modtime are computed properly.
