I haven't tried with -Ur, but I could compile Indy easily by fixing this.

I've pointed this out to Indycore many, many times, but they keep mumbling

But while in theory exact copy with the same datetime should work (since
their path is the only differentiator and afaik not checked), extracting it
from an archive might already cause problems with the timestamps
