Its not a gnu make problem, its a make problem in general.

What type of sychronization for your clocks are you using between
you machines? (my guess is none).

A simple way to get them in sync is to get the time/date of a master
at boot time (if you machines reboot relatively often (a week or less?)
this is acceptable.

Also, do all the accounts have the same concept of timezone?
