Autotest by default runs `make dep` and it seems the clock is pretty badly skewed on this server, resulting in an infinite loop of: 01:09:37 DEBUG| Running 'make dep' 01:09:38 DEBUG| [stderr] make: Warning: File `/usr/local/autotest/tmp/build/linux/arch/powerpc/Makefile' has modification time 112143 s in the future 01:09:38 DEBUG| [stderr] make[1]: Warning: File `/usr/local/autotest/tmp/build/linux/arch/powerpc/Makefile' has modification time 112143 s in the future 01:09:38 DEBUG| [stderr] make[2]: Warning: File `scripts/Makefile.host' has modification time 112143 s in the future 01:09:38 DEBUG| [stdout] HOSTCC scripts/basic/fixdep 01:09:38 DEBUG| [stderr] make[2]: warning: Clock skew detected.
