Hi Van Thinh,

That code (that is, the routines containing timenow) haven't changed in
four months as you can see at:

  http://mitgcm.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/MITgcm/eesupp/src/timers.F

Are you certain that you haven't made some local changes?  Or perhaps
used a different optfile for your builds?  Or have you just not updated
your code in more than four months?

If all else fails, you can use the genmake2 "-ignore_time" option to
keep MITgcm from using any of the various possible wall-time options.
Note that it won't hurt your results in any way -- it'll just mean that
the timing information within the code (eg. how long it takes various
parts of the code to run) will be junk.  But the actual results of the
model will be the same with or without timing info.
