The only explanation I can imagine for a different behavior in your case is that it might be timezone specific. Execetive summary: If you are east of Greenwich, you get an error, if you are west of it, you don't. Detailed evidence: According to the operating system, I am in UTC+1 (in reality it is UTC+2 with summertime), and you are in some UTC-8 or so. Thus in my case, touch -t 197001010000 lib/fribidi-bidi.h sets the modification time of the file to one hour before epoch. In your case, it sets it to epoch + 8 hours. Try date -r 0 It gives you the Unix epoch in timestamp format, in my case Thu Jan 1 01:00:00 CET 1970 In your case you will probably see something like Wen Dec 31 16:00:00 PST 1969 Another test is after the above touch command to read the mtime via `stat -s` touch -t 197001010000 foo stat -s foo It gives me st_mtime=-3600, that is one hour before the epoch. Thus in my case, but not in yours, st_mtime is negative. And at that point the bug in make kicks in. I think I saw it in the sources of make. They cast the signed 32bit int st_mtime into an unsigned 64bit long long, which gives a date in the future, long after the end of the universe.
