The last time I saw that message, my system had shifted from summer to
winter time in mid compile. I reported it at the time (September
1998), and was told that's a known problem with make as it apparently
uses local time when checking.

Can anybody else confirm whether such is in fact the case, as I have
to say that I find that explanation wierd...

Best wishes from Riley.
