If the dest machine's clock is set before the source machine's clock, then make
might get confused with dates on built files in the future. This may not be
too bad with a plain install, because installworld is _supposed_ to be
read-only in /usr/{src,obj} (tho I have had odd issues in the past).
But clock skew (in particular, system clock set to before source files are
updated in the CVS repository) is a sure-fire way of breaking a build (usually
during the compilation of perl).
