Did you actually check that? (Date/time on source files can be
set by CVSup servers...)

"install" isn't supposed to build stuff. The only exception I could
remember of is timezone data files, plus some .db files. I strongly
suggest checking the date/time of your computer and source files.
If it's really okay, then check the following: run -j24 build, then
run "make -C /usr/src/sys/boot -nn" -- if you see that it wants to
build something, then this is a problem we should look into and try
to fix.
