'make' is unhappy as it has some source files "in the future".  Once you got
your clock runing ok the simplest "fix" is to do the following:

     touch /tmp/now
     find / -newer /tmp/now | xargs touch
     rm /tmp/now

This will reset all dates "in advance" to the current time.  Not the
best solution but it works.  You can get fancier if you wish as
'touch' allows you to set dates on files to whatever you wish, so
you can read them and set them back by a fixed number of years in a
shell script (or perl, or awk, or ...).

This will not change dates on symbolic links but this is minor in a
sense.
