Actually that wasn't sufficient to solve the problem.
But I hope the following additional patch will.

Estimated hours taken: 0.5
Branches: main

w3/Makefile.common:
	Remove `-u' from the definition of CP.	The `-u' ("update") option
	to cp has undesirable effects when used in combination with `-r'
	(which is implied by `-a', which we use).  In particular, for
	`cp -afu srcdir targetdir', if the target directory already
	exists and is newer than the source directory, then cp will not
	recurse down into the directories, checking whether there are
	new files in the source directory which are not present in the
	target directory or which are newer in the source directory than
	in the target directory.
