Thanks for looking into this.

On Android, should we always define REPLACE_WHATEVER when 'whatever' 
doesn't exist, at least for all the REPLACE_WHATEVER instances that 
currently exist in Gnulib? After all, 'whatever' might exist in some 
future Android version.

Would it make sense to wait until you've worked out the details, before 
installing patches like the REPLACE_UTIMENSAT=1 patch?
