NFS Make Problem - File Times not Correct

Hello,
We are in the process from moving from ATT RFS to ISC NFS and have hit
as not so inconsiderable snag. RFS makes all the filesystems appear
as a homogeneous whole. As part of this, it ( tries ) to sync the
times on various boxes. Usually the times are close enough that if
you "make" a file on a remote file system the mod. times are synched
to the local boxes time.
In NFS , things appear differently. NFS isn't concerned with keeping
the boxes times in sync. A file recently modified on a remote file
system might seem old, and make will say "nothings been changed".
Has anybody else out there had to deal with this problem? Any quick
hacks around it?
Thanks for your help.
Will
