Check the date and time on the .o files. Sometimes if the clock had gone
bad at the time when you compiled first, and if the time stamp it put
on the files were greater than the right time, then your files will never
compile again unless your current time is greater than the .o files time.

It happens to us very often on the Onyx, so this might be woth checking out.
