Bug #2530: Future timestamps in 1.8.7-p248 generate recursive compilation process
http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/show/2530

Author: Luis Lavena
Status: Open, Priority: Normal
Category: build
ruby -v: ruby 1.8.6 (2009-08-04 patchlevel 383) [i686-linux]

After the announcement of 1.8.7-p248, I've proceeded to download and install it.

During extraction, got several warnings about future timestamps, and ignore them (see attached extract.error.log)

My local clock is 12pm, 2009-12-25, UTC-3

Ignored the warnings and proceed to configure, which ended normally.

Then fired the make process, and it started a cyclical configure process, as seen in make.error.log and make.log

A workaround to this issue is touch all the files in the extracted folder, but is a problem for automated process like RVM (Ruby Version Manager) and RubyInstaller own recipes for building Ruby for Windows.

Can it be repackaged with proper timestamps?

Thank you.
