This is indicative of your system clock being off by large amounts, or
reset timestamps on src/ files.  Check the system date and correct.

Cleaning up from that is not easy, though;  you may have to remove and
re-extract your source.  It will update files in the wrong way and damage
your tree.

You can try 'make cleandir; make cleandir' and removing /usr/obj
completely if reconstiuting your source tree is painful.
