automake: a millisecond is too fast for subsecond-mtime. This patch is from https://bugs.gnu.org/68325. * m4/sanity.m4 (_AM_FILESYSTEM_TIMESTAMP_RESOLUTION): don't try for a millisecond; make a hundredth of a second the fastest we'll go. Apparently there are plenty of systems which supposedly support subsecond-mtimes down to the millisecond and yet randomly fail parallelized tests. For example: https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=68119#18 Maybe the tests themselves need fixing. (The ones that run autotools multiple times in succession.) A work in progress.
