In some files, such as gnulib.html in the web pages, the time stamp occurs near
the end of the file.

Also, build-aux/prefix-gnulib-mk has been manually modified 5 times by Jim
and Paul, who surely are Emacs users, without the time stamp being bumped.
To me, this indicates that the time stamp mechanism is not working anyway.

Can you please deal with this issue, i.e. make the time stamp mechanism
work in the first place? I'm not a regular Emacs user.

Bruno
