What filesystem are you running stuff on? Do you build in your sources? Is your clock set correctly? Do you use NFS by chance?
Yes, I'm building things on an NFS filesystem. I'm building everything from the tarball that's downloadable. I get the same error message independent of running the monetdb-install.sh (or something like this) or by running configure/make/make install by hand.
The system clock seems to be working fine as far as I can tell. At least I've never had problems with it (or when using SVN or CVS).
Is NFS a known source of trouble? Then I could try installing it again on a local hard drive.
If the clock of the NFS server is out of sync with your local clock, make can get confused. Try building on local (/var/tmp?) disk space to avoid this. I hope that solves it.
Also, if you copy the sources, make sure you preserve the mtimes of the original, e.g. by using cp -pPR or rsync -a.
