I'm running on Solaris ['uname -a' says "SunOs xxx 5.8 Generic sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-30"]
I'm using GNU Make 3.79.1 Basically, any file that I modify or create via standard tools (editors, compilers, linkers, or 'touch'), is reported by GNU make as having a modification time in the future. By way of a test, I executed the following command line: touch makefile; date; make -n Sure enough, the modification time of 'makefile' reported by GNU make is about 15 minutes ahead of the current time reported by both 'date' and GNU make. If I add the following command to each of my build rules: touch `date "+%m%d%H%M"` $@ (which forces the derived file's modification time to agree with 'date') then the problem goes away (until I modify some source file!). I don't think that this is a bug in GNU make itself, because the Solaris version of 'make' acts strangely, always rebuilding everything each time it is run. After I made the above fix in the makefile, it stopped doing this; the second run would claim that everything was up to date (as it should). It appears that the file system uses a different time source than that used by GNU make and 'date' (which appears to be the library routine, 'clock_gettime'). Do you have any idea how to get these two sources synchronized?
