Bummer! :(
Thanks for working this, though. I'll make a note of it somewhere. I
may have to make a configure option to disable nanosecond timestamp

Good idea. I checked and found, by putting explicit paths to cp in
the makefile that /usr/bin/cp, /

I encountered a strange bug when make-3.79 is used on IRIX 6.5,
demonstrated by the following makefile:
# Begin Makefile
#DATE=-d "19 Dec 1994"
b: a
cp -p $< $@
a:
touch $(DATE) a
# End Makefile
Note that every time you run make after the first time, it tries to
rebuild file b,
This is GNU make PR/1696. There's a patch in the resolution to the
problem report.
You can find out how to access the GNU make bug database from the GNU
make README file.
Thx.
