As it happens, I solved this problem recently for another project I'm
on, Battle For Wesnoth. Here is the relevant Makefile.am code:
SVNREV = $(shell svnversion -n $(topdir) 2>/dev/null)
CFLAGS += "-DSVNREV=\"$(SVNREV)\""
game_config.o: revision-stamp
# Should be touched each time the SVN revision number goes up
revision-stamp: FORCE
if [ x"$(SVNREV)" != x`cat revision-stamp 2>/dev/null` ]; then echo -n
$(SVNREV) >revision-stamp; fi
FORCE:
The trick is in the way revision-stamp is generated,
