Wez-
On the solaris box I am using:
$ tar --version
tar (GNU tar) 1.13
On the linux box:
erik@oslo:~$ tar --version
tar (GNU tar) 1.13.25
Interestingly enough, my dates matched each other perfectly even though
they were different than yours. I wonder why they are different?
Also, the problem I found (with my stem script that clobbers the dates)
doesn't necessarily explain the problem that [EMAIL PROTECTED] was
having, though it seems likely that it is date related. Perhaps this
should still be open.

The problem was with a piece of software we use here to manage our
source tree, called stem. Stem takes as input a directory of source
files (such as php-4.3.0) and copies them into our main source
directory, then makes a nest of symlinks to support building with
different object directories for different platforms.
The problem was that stem clobbers the file dates when it copies the
files. When the dates aren't perfect make tries to call re2c and dies.
Apoligies for causing a ruckus with this bug which is the fault of one
of our scripts.
Installation / compiling would, however, be somewhat more robust if
dates weren't critical to the success of make. Perhaps by changing the
makefile to never compile .re files in release distributions, or moving
the .re files to an 'original source' directory that isn't operated on
by make. This problem could crop up not just with my script but
potentially with anyone who moves the files around before compiling and
manages to clobber the dates.
thanks to all who provided help / comments.

Are you using GNU tar or Solaris tar?
Because it sounds like your tar tool is at fault.

directory info from freshly un-tarred downloads from the official
website, no other changes made or commands issued.
The dates on solaris and linux are the same. The dates on the .c files
are later than on the .re files.
On Solaris:

$ ls -l *.re
