That assumes a lot of things, like the clock is running correctly at all times, e.g. under the control of NTP or some other mechanism. If said computer dual boots Microsoft OS, then most likely the firmware clock (BIOS clock, RTC) runs in local time. Should you then boot FreeBSD straight into single user mode with /etc/wall_cmos_clock present, and you fail to run adjkerntz -i while in single user mode, then the clock will be off by 1 or 2 hours, depending on daylight saving time is in effect or not. Next, svn sets the date and time on each checked out file to the present date and time. If the clock is running in the future at the time of check out/update a lot of things might happen at the time of compilation of the source code. Of course, I'm just speculating, the one who knows most about the issue at hand is Helmut. > Or was the last compilation done after the affected file got updated at > the server? > > Shouldn't there be a system in place which automatically deletes all > object files automatically? make buildworld does include a step where certain files are wiped.
