Hm. Something is wrong; make's debugging output shows clearly the
problem:
Considering target file `version.o'.
Looking for an implicit rule for `version.o'.
Trying pattern rule with stem `version'.
Trying implicit prerequisite `version.c'.
Found an implicit rule for `version.o'.
Finished prerequisites of target file `version.o'.
Prerequisite `version.c' of target `version.o' does not exist.
No need to remake target `version.o'.
For some reason make decides that the target "version.c" does not exist,
even though it does/should.
Please file a bug about this on Savannah and we'll check it out, thanks.

No, you're misreading the log. Check the dates: the first message is
actually the LATEST (newest) message, and the last message is the first
(oldest) message.
