Touch is important to the system and you really don't want to run newver.sh instead of it. > > | Another possibility is that you are running a cmos clock with local time. > > You > > | need to run "adjkerntz -i" before you do anything.

It didn't seem to do much? If you are running wall clock time, it sets your timezone so that the system knows the UTC creation time of the src. The touch problem usually occurs because something you have created appears to be older than code you imported using cvsup. When you set the timezone, the imported source code is now older than the created file and make is happy. Look at UPDATING and do a search on adjkerntz. You will find it in 1 or 2 attempts.
