Can not build Grub bootloader

[rocky <rocky2winnie@gmail.com>]

Hey,

I'm following the Pocket Linux Guide from www.tldp.org. I'm on the
section of build the GRUB bootloader

I downloaded the grup 0.95. export CC="gcc -mcpu=i386" does not give
any warning. But running configure stopped me from going on.

$-------------code begin--------------------------------------$
ronie:/usr/src/grub-0.95# ./configure --host=i386-pc-linux-gnu --
without-curses
configure: WARNING: If you wanted to set the --build type, don't use --
host.
    If a cross compiler is detected then cross compile mode will be
used.
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane... configure: error: newly
created file is older than distributed files!
Check your system clock
$-----------------code end------------------------------------------$

I'm using Debian Etch which is the latest stable version. Can any of
you help me please?

Blessings,
Rocky
