Comment:

 This isn't a tor bug:
 {{{
 checking whether build environment is sane... configure: error: newly
 created file is older than distributed files!
 Check your system clock
 }}}

 It's a bug in the VM's time synchronisation, that happens when the VM's
 time is weeks behind the host's time (oops!). I've turned off the buggy
 feature, so I think this issue is solved.
