I ran into this problem, too. If you compare the Makefile in the
directory GENERICISA with the Makefile for your system, you will
find the problem. I think the template used by config Makefile is
out of sync with the sources.
What is missing is creating a new file, version.c, and then compiling
it to produce a version.o. There is a script that does some fancy
stuff to increment version numbers (and it does it incorrectly, too)
so each time you do a make, the version number gets incremented.
I patched my Makefile and I haven't yet gotten around to fixing up
the template.
