GNU Make reports such cases because inconsistencies in file times could easily defeat its decisions about which files need to be rebuilt. In particular, if some of the files reside on a networked drive, and there's a clock skew between the machine where Make runs and the one which exports the drive, Make could really fail to rebuild some files.
DJGPP ports of GNU Make v3.77 and later allow for up to 3 seconds of positive difference between the file timestamp and the system clock (that is, the file is allowed to be up to 3 seconds into the future), before the above warning is printed. So upgrading to the latest version of Make should eliminate such bogus warnings and leave you only with messages due to real clock skews.
