I can certainly update the timestamp on the virtual machine and build Emacs a third time today using 0797b39185e66983c7286e89f93dd4f6c83b6ea7, but I would guess that I will have the same result in a failed build.

By outdated timestamps, I meant the modification times of your source
and/or build files (e.g., maybe the VM's clock got out of sync at some
point?). But looking at your build log again, it's something even
stranger than that:

GEN globals.h
CC emacs.o
gcc -std=gnu11 emacs.o -o emacs

Where is that last line coming from? It's trying to produce the
'emacs' executable without linking any of the object files except
emacs.o. And it didn't use the silent rule format (CCLD).
