I think the best and easiest workaround is to set all of the file
times to the same time.  Then make will consider them up to date.

  $ cd PROJECTDIR && find . -type f -exec touch -r . {} +

But if you can't set the time on files then that won't work.

Therefore I would simply try to get all of the files up to the current
time without a reference file.  That seems like it should even on
pretty broken systems. This naturally has race potential but seems
like it might work most of the time.

  $ cd PROJECTDIR && find . -type f -exec touch {} +
