Interesting enough Linux and OpenBSD at least deinfe it *times instead of
times[2], but the code itself should be fine.

It bothers me that configure.ac generated the wrong check.  What library
is utimes() part of?  Maybe we need additional check besides:

AC_CHECK_FUNC(utimes,
        [], [ AC_CHECK_LIB(c89, utimes, [AC_DEFINE(HAVE_UTIMES)
                                        LIBS="$LIBS -lc89"]) ]
)

No it is because the second argument is different  (*tvp vs tvp[2])

I'd say something is wrong with configure.ac script.  If you go into
config.h and uncomment "#define HAVE_UTIMES 1" and compile does HP/UX 11
work correctly?
