NFS share time skew too great for Make

[David Wuertele]

I deploy a build system to many locations throughout the company, and these
locations are managed by diverse IT groups.  A big problem is that the system
time on these build systems doesn't match the system time of the mounted NFS
filesystems to which the build outputs.  The skew can be as much as .06 seconds.
 This confuses make and constantly breaks the build.

Unfortnately, the IT groups refuse to fix their system times.  And everyone
comes crying to me.

I heard that there is a way to compile make to be more robust in the face of
skewed system times.  I took a look at the source and nothing jumped out at me.

Any suggestions?
