I doubt wrong time stamps make compiling fail, especially since portage uses a new copy of the source everytime. However, this would give all files on your computer the current time as timestamp:
| Code: | | find / -exec touch {} \; |
Maybe this breaks things that rely on timestamps, I doubt it, though. |

Anything that I might think of is touching files giving you trouble. In addition, you can search the filesystem with find to find all files with timestamp in the future, and pipe the output to 'touch' command.
