This can occur if you edit a file and immediately rebuild it, due to the
2 second granularity of the MS-DOS datestamp.  In essence, if you save a
file at 12:30:13, it may be datestamped 12:30:14 in the filesystem. 
Trying to recompile it immediately after saving may trigger the warning,
since the system still thinks it's 12:30:13.  The warning can safely be
ignored in such cases.

It's also possible that your system clock is off.
