[New-bugs-announce] [issue16004] Add `make touch` to 2.7 Makefile

[Chris Jerdonek]

New submission from Chris Jerdonek:

This issue is to add "make touch" to the 2.7 Makefile as suggested by Nick Coghlan in the following comment to issue 15964:

"We should be able to add the "make touch" target to the 2.7 Makefile without running afoul of the "no new features" rule."

(from http://bugs.python.org/issue15964#msg171001 )

This will make it easier to help people address certain build errors encountered when switching between 2.7 and 3.x branches.
