Since you can't fix all these projects at once, then I suggest to stop
using the MS-DOS FAT filesystem due to its poor timestamp resolution.
Use NTFS instead.
I'm on Ubuntu, not dos. It's source code control, (perforce, cvs,
subversion), that has a different idea of how time stamps should be
handled than automake does. It tends to think that the last mod time of
a file should be the time the file was last checked out. And on a unix
system, that makes perfect sense and is completely fitting the the
semantic of the last mod stamp of the file system.
Unfortunately, that doesn't fit with the usage that automake currently
requires.
