I checked the archives and I see you've sent mails in the past to both 
the nio-dev and nio-discuss lists. The most recent I found is with the 
same address that you are using now:

Can you try changing Java_sun_nio_fs_UnixNativeDispatcher_futimes to use 
futimes rather than futimesat? I thought BSD had both but only see 
futimes on Mac OS. This issue does highlight an issue for upstream 
though in that the UnixNativeDispatcher.futimes method should fail 
rather than complete silently on platforms where the system call doesn't 
exist.
