The "<file> has modification time 0.0096 s in the future" were harmless.

But the "Clock skew detected.  Your build may be incomplete." can possibly 
indicate an incomplete build.
This seems to be a problem on my slower machine XP, but not on my newer 
Vista one.

Were you getting clock skew problems too ?

I have not had time and head space to build make yet, I'll try it in the 
morning.

Many thanks for the reply,

Aaron
