The timestamp in touch is caused by futimes() syscall, the timestamp in 
other cases is caused by write() syscall.

Yes, you are right, the problem is yet deeper :-(.

Dropping "WRAP_SYSTEM_INCLUDES= VISIBILITY_FLAGS=-fvisibility=hidden"
from debian/rules and adding "hunspell.hxx" into config/system-headers
sufficiently workarounds the problem for us in a mean time.

Thanks for your patience.
