Please keep the mailing list cc'd!

I'm no Makefile guru, but that sounds like an issue with modification
timestamps on the files. I'd suggest checking the timestamps on
config.status. I can reproduce that behavior if I run "touch -d
2007-01-01 configure". If that's your problem, "touch configure" should
help.

No, just fix your system clock setting.  This is the standard behavior
seen when the source files have timestamps "in the future" according
to the system clock --- make keeps trying to generate derived files
that are newer, and yet they still seem to be out of date compared
to the sources ...
