Any chance it's a C project with missing dependencies in the makefiles?
That's a classic way of checking out the right source code but having
lingering bad binaries.
Clock skew can do it too: if the machine hasn't always had stable time
then "before" and "after" become wonky.
If in doubt, make clean (and verify that doesn't leave anything that
isn't source) and rebuild all.
