A section of the GNU make 3.79.2a1 README file describes the configure
option --disable-nsec-timestamps, which no longer exists. Here's a patch.

* README: Remove mention of --disable-nsec-timestamps.
This change was part of the 2000-07-23 patch, but somehow
it didn't get installed.

Please report any bugs that you find in this area. If you run into
difficulties, then as a workaround you should be able to disable LFS by
adding the `--disable-largefile' option to the `configure' script.

-On systems that support micro- and nano-second timestamp values and
-where stat(2) provides this information, GNU make will use it when
-comparing timestamps to get the most accurate possible result. However,
-at the moment there is no system call (that I'm aware of) that will
-allow you to *set* a timestamp to a micro- or nano-second granularity.
-This means that "cp -p" and other similar tools (tar, etc.) cannot
-exactly duplicate timestamps with micro- and nano-second granularity.
-If your build system contains rules that depend on proper behavior of
-tools like "cp -p", you should configure make to not use micro- and
-nano-second timestamps with the --disable-nsec-timestamps flag.
