That your sources are about 8 moths too old....

No, really: the __setfpucw thing came up with the RH6.x (glibc2)
releases, and got fixed some releases back. (If for some reason you
cannot get new sources, just remove the calls to __setfpucw() since
they don't do anything useful.)

The clock skew indicates - as it says - that your files carry a date
stamp in the future, which confuses make (although usually thing come
out right in the end). Either you've adjusted your clock after
generating the files or your files are on a server and the clocks of
the two machines are out of sync.
