Make doesn't care about the system date.
It compares the date of the source against the date of the object.
If the source is "newer" then it compiles.

Point that I had was the IDE would write a source with a future time,
and make/compiler would write an obj with the current time so it would
still be "old".

The make option -B builds reguardless of date.
You could also turn off autodependancy which tracks changes to header
files.
