This line is:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
      ASSERT (st1.st_ctime < st2.st_ctime
              || (st1.st_ctime =3D=3D st2.st_ctime
                  && get_stat_ctime_ns (&st1) < get_stat_ctime_ns (&st2)));
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

(See <http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/gnulib.git/tree/tests/test-chown.h#n=
191>.)

Could it have something to do with nanosecond-resolution timestamp
support in the kernel that=E2=80=99s running, or in the underlying file sys=
tem?
