Because m4/utimens.m4 AC_REQUIREs gl_CHECK_TYPE_STRUCT_UTIMBUF,
which is defined in m4/utimbuf.m4, which is listed in Files section only
in modules/utime. Try to bootstrap cpio and you will get:

configure.ac:46: warning: gl_CHECK_TYPE_STRUCT_UTIMBUF is m4_require'd
but is not m4_defun'd
configure.ac:46: gl_CHECK_TYPE_STRUCT_UTIMBUF is required by...
m4/utimens.m4:17: gl_UTIMENS is expanded from...
m4/gnulib.m4:160: cpio_GNULIB is expanded from...

Hmm, now I see a better solution: to list m4/utimbuf.m4 in Files
section of modules/utimens.
