I've never received the above warning on a SunOS 5.7 system.  Which
"make" utility are you using?

It looks like your system clock is off.  I suggest that you check with
your system administrator because the "make" utility is very sensitive
to inaccurate sytem clocks.

Does the file "f90/aux.m4" exist?  If so, then the "make" utility has a
problem and I suggest that you contact your system administrator.  If
not, then something happened to remove it and I suggest that you start
from scratch with a new release.

Incidentally, you sent me the file "config.log" instead of the file
"configure.log".
