Does the Linux NFS client support SET_TO_CLIENT_TIME?

A different approach: you could rebuild make to accommodate a time
"skew".  If I remember right this skew factor is in for fat32 file
systems.  The file I think is src/remake.c.  You can grep for key word
"skew" and uncomment the ifdef to get what ever time skew factor you
want (believe the default is 3 seconds).
