The thinko which probably confused Matthew also puzzled me for a couple moments, until I noticed the obvious. (Since nobody pointed it out, I'm wasting LK bandwidth here.)
The original README for the kernel recommended that one: make config ; make dep ; make clean ; make zlilo The "make clean" never removed version.h before, but it does in 2.2.10. Oops.
I have a one-button-does-all script that grabs patches from various kernel archives, untars, patches, retars, configures/builds a kernel, gives it a unique name (so I can have several 2.3.8 kernels, for example, with separate non-conflicting sets of modules/includes, automatically resolved at boot time), adds it to my lilo.config, rebuilds the lilo map, and puts the system.map into the modules directory. (OK, so I like it when it takes 5 minutes from the time I see a new kernel on kernel.org to the time I'm running it.) But it too fell victim to script-rot; the "make clean" was indeed in there as part of the build portion. (Checking the current README, I see that the "make clean" is no longer mentioned.) Anyway, if others have created similar scripts to mine for their own ease of kernel rebuilding, then they may also have that (now bogus) "make clean" in there.
