No, but I'm on FAT32 on this machine.  Problem is described here:

http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/v2faq/faq22_18.html

According to that same page, DJGPP has a local hack^Wpatch to
suppress that warning:

"DJGPP ports of GNU Make v3.77 and later allow for up to
3 seconds of positive difference between the file timestamp and the
system clock (that is, the file is allowed to be up to 3 seconds into the
future), before the above warning is printed. So upgrading to the
latest version of Make should eliminate such bogus warnings and leave you
only with messages due to real clock skews."

Cheers,
Pedro Alves
