Touch is important to the system and you really don't want to run newver.sh 
instead of it.

If you are running wall clock time, it sets your timezone so that the system 
knows the UTC creation time of the src. The touch problem usually occurs 
because something you have created appears to be older than code you imported 
using cvsup. When you set the timezone, the imported source code is now older 
than the created file and make is happy.

Look at UPDATING and do a search on adjkerntz. You will find it in 1 or 2 
attempts.
