Ok, then where does it come from, since it's not the current kernel version and
it's not the elfutils version?  gcc somehow finds that number and inserts it
into the binary.  Where did it find it and why is that number not the same as
the other stuff, notably the kernel, since it appears to be a kernel version
number?  Just not the current kernel version number.
