I don't know how it was determined that there was a time sync problem; 
however, in general, "make" creates updated object files depending on 
the time an object was created.  If the source code is newer than the 
object that would be built from the source code, then the object is rebuilt.

Maybe this will help you understand why the times have to be in sync 
between and NFS server and client.
