Comment(by vbraun):

 The problem is that the ctime of newly-created files over NFS is wrong:
 {{{
 vbr...@iras:~> rm -f test && touch test && stat test
   File: `test'
   Size: 0               Blocks: 0          IO Block: 8192   regular empty
 file

 }}}
 There is a nfs bug related to nfs time stamps
 https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6127
 which is likely the culprit here. That bug was fixed in 2.6.17 (iras runs
 2.6.16).

 A possible workaround would be to build sage in `/tmp`, which is a local
 disk and where file creation times are correct.
