Hello.

I don't think it's come from linux kernel. I see, a few days ago, the
same
problem on Sun-OS. I think it's better something bad with NFS server,
clock synchronisation, and perhaps the version of make. For me, I
have to wait about 40s beforce I can suceed the compilation. This 40s
seems to be the diff time between the clock's of the two computers.
If I remenber, I never seen this error on make 3.74. Think's there was
some
change between make 3.74 and make 3.75 that could explain that.
