Nope, I have all time sync'd machines.  I have probably tried it on 8
different sun machines (various OS versions 7,8, and 10).  I get this error
on every one of them.  To get around it I just build m4 and autoconf to get
me through the bootstrap.  Something else that is interesting, I don't get
this error if I update openpkg, it only occurs when performing a bootstrap.
