Many GNU Autoconf configure scripts output the message "checking whether build environment is sane..." early on in the configuration phase. This message is a result of the tests done by GNU Automake's macro AM_SANITY_CHECK. This checks to make sure that a file created in the build directory is newer than a file in the source directory. This can fail on systems where the clock is set incorrectly. This macro is automatically run from AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE.
