I use make on NFS mounted filesystems every day, without this problem.

Here is the version I'm using:

$ make -v
GNU Make version 3.74-96q3, by Richard Stallman and Roland McGrath.

Though, I've never seen the problem you mention. It sounds like your
NFS farm has time/date problems. It might be clock drift, could it be
mis-configured timezones ?

We keep the clocks sync'd with ntpd.

Hope this helps,
