As Christian Bolik indicates, you cannot change the mtime of symbolic links.
Timestamp changes are effected through the utime() and utimes() functions,
which do not support changing symbolic links. This *might* change in the
future, if AIX developers introduce more symbolic link handling as they
did in providing the lchown() function to change the ownership of symbolic
links in AIXv4 (also via 'chown -h' command). But for now at least the
timestamps on a symbolic link are those of when it was created.
