Hi!
According to http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/816-5167/6mbb2jam2?a=view
futimesat (fd, NULL, tvp)
is supposed to set times on the file referenced by fd.
touch from coreutils uses this, so with current CVS glibc crashes
(see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=173581).
It is unclear what happens with
futimesat (AT_FDCWD, NULL, tvp)
though, my patch will just fail, other variant would be set times on
current working directory.
Also, in generic futimesat.c, the documentation above says that
for absolute paths fd argument is ignored. Therefore we shouldn't
IMHO verify that FD is non-negative or AT_FDCWD in that case.

* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/futimesat.c (futimesat): If FILE is NULL,
set access and modification times of the file referenced by FD.
* sysdeps/generic/futimesat.c (futimesat): Don't return EINVAL if
FILE is NULL. Don't check FD if FILE is absolute path.
