Hello Terry,

On what kind of file system did you untar?  Which version of tar did
you use?

There's a known bug on Haiku with BeFS where subsecond granularity is
not supported, causing "make" to believe that build-version.scm is newer
or has same timestamp as build-version.c, so it will try to recreate it.

A simple workaround is to first touch build-version.c, then run make.
But I'd really like to know what's causing this in the first place.

Cheers,
Peter
