If I had to guess;

 * The most recent tarballs have been pulled together with SVN's
   absolutely bogus default of [miscellany] use-commit-times = no
   (see your ~/.svn/config, where you can uncomment this section
   and option).

Bill, I wish you would stop calling things bogus without doing the
research why this is the default.

   This means they are checkout dates, which are entirely useless.
   It means any dependencies that WOULD be resolved by our commit
   order are no longer resolved and force rebuilds.

 * There was an extra 'touch' to the datestamps for these files
   at one time; this may not have occurred in the last package.

The scripts in httpd-dist/ to create the packages most certainly
do touch the files.

 * Depending on the tool used to unpack the source tarball, that
   tool might not be date preserving; this would invalidate anything
   we attempted above to prevent rebuilding these targets.
