I haven't looked into the details, but a superficial check suggests that recent versions of Autoconf generate a 'configure' script that automatically checks for bogus system clocks and refuses to continue. We should build Emacs 24 with the latest Autoconf anyway, to fix some other porting issues; and that should fix this bug as well, so I'm marking it done.
