+The clean command line compiler clm uses timestamps of dcl, icl, abc and o files
+to decide what must be rebuild.  However as for chroot builds, all of the
+library files will have equal timestamps, this leads to clm trying to rebuild
+the library modules distributed with the Clean installation every time a user
+compiles any file, which fails ue to the absence of write permission on the Nix
+store.
+
+This patch changes the freshness check to use less than instead of less than or
+equal to in order to avoid this.
