On macOS 10.14, futimens in lib/futimens.c calls fdutimens in lib/utimens.c which calls futimens again, recursing until the stack is full. This cause Fcopy_file to crash, for instance.

No doubt I've made a silly configuration error, but I've wiped the (out-of-tree) build directory, regenerated configure and all. As expedience I commented out the futimens definition. Not sure how this is supposed to work really -- what am I missing? HAVE_FUTIMENS is set in config.h.
