CONFIG_UTIMENSAT is defined when the host has glibc >= 2.6.

Handle syscalls are available on Linux 2.6.39 but not exposed by glibc.

Therefore CONFIG_UTIMENSAT has nothing to do with handle syscalls and
does not mean handle syscalls are supported.  I would drop that hunk of
the patch or test for the actual handle syscalls in ./configure.
