Yes, "make" completely relies on dates to decide what files need to be generated
and which ones are up-to-date. Just try "touch 
some_file_which_should_be_build.o"
in the right directory and you'll see the build either use the empty object file
you just created by "touch" or fail with an error message when trying to use 
that
empty object file, depending on platform/compiler.

Using "cp -p" instead of just "cp" avoids that issue by keeping the original 
dates
and times of the files you copy...

Stefan.
