"Clock skew", eh?  This might cause problems.

This is not good.

I don't recall having seen this error before.  On thing, though, the
make(1) should not have tried to remake the ncdump(1) utility; that was
done in the previous "make" step.

Due to the clock skew and the above error, I suggest that you start from
scratch:

    1.  Go to the top-level source directory.

    2.  Perform steps 3 through 9 described near the end of the file
        INSTALL.html.

Please let me know what you discover.
