For utimes() specifically, you can probably use utime().  You can
even write an emulation of utimes() using utime(), just throwing
away the microsecond fields (4.3 does the same inside the kernel).

Many other BSD routines can be emulated, or have their functionality
replaced, in various specific ways.  Some are available in libBSD if you
haven't checked there.  Some other BSD functionality is be supported.
