Does the Linux NFS client support SET_TO_CLIENT_TIME?

I have a make application building in an NFS mount that is getting confused by
the server having different system time from the client.

I don't have control over the system time of either host.

My host is the only one mounting this particular direcotry, and my make process
is the only one accessing files in that mount, so I think that it would be safe
to mount it using the SET_TO_CLIENT_TIME feature of NFSv3 or NFSv4.

I did some network sniffing and discovered that my client (a Linux box) is not
using SET_TO_CLIENT_TIME.

Does Linux support SET_TO_CLIENT_TIME?  How can I enable it?

Thanks,
Dave
