This is two separate issues, so I'll try to answer them separately.
3 days old version: This looks really weird, and I can't really see how
this can happen. The first I would check is that you are actually running
the julia you just built, rather than a a 3 days old julia from another
directory. The next point on the list is to post git status and the last
line of sh base/version_git.sh so that we can see if it gives us a clue.
The checksum issue is because the one of our dependencies needs to be
downloaded separately, and you didn't get a file exactly equal to the file
we got when we added the dependency. This is usually caused by networking
issues, but can have many other sources. Typically the best way to find out
is to examine the size of deps/pcre-8.36.tar.bz2 to see if it is about 1.5
MB.
