clock skew

Hi!

None of the kernel I compiled works (the station doesn't boot after
having uncompressed the new kernel). I have yet do make mrproper, make
menuconfig (without changing any of the options, except the scsi, since
I have only ide drives), make dep, make clean, make boot, make modules,
make modules_install. After that, I rename my old kernel, and move the
new one from arch/alpha/boot/ to / , but it doesn't works...
It probably comes from some warnings I have sometimes during
compilation: "clock skew detected. your build may not be
complete", after each "ld" or "ar" instructions. These warnings can
result of the difference between the values returned by "clock" and
"date": clock returns the real date (but sometimes give some random
dates, like 13 november 2019), and date works too fast (it gains
approximately 6 seconds after doing "make boot"), and I must do a "clock

-a" after loging, because it never returns a good year.
Sometimes, the compilation even prints the contains of the
registers, and blocks the computer...

So well, if anybody can help...
