For even more amusement, try correcting the system clock after fetching the source but before compiling certain packages, and watch ninja flail around because it can't deal with source from the future, until it finishes its thousand default iterations and causes portage to error out. (My system is only about twelve hours in the future on startup, fortunately, so it's self-correcting if you wait overnight. It took me a while to figure out what the actual problem was.)

Timestamp of the source actually makes sense! Thanks for that! :D
For clarity's sake the date was off by almost 5 years, nothing to scoff at.
Easy solution; just wait for 5 years
Simples! Time progression should be terminated and running at the same time!
We may have broken physics 😁
