version.h is an auto-generated file (see the first four lines of the toplevel Makefile for the correct version definition). It is generated when you compile the kernel. If you unpacked the tree (or patched a 2.2.17 tree) *without* compiling anything, version.h (and compile.h, which is created at about the same time) will be either missing or wrong.
