Just to make sure, you have the following in your tree, right?

    Makefile: fix build timestamps
    
    This patch adds the scripts/mkcompile_h from the Kernel. This gives
    us additional information about the build like who built this binary
    and with which compiler. Currently the only information used is the
    build timestamp and the generation number.
    This also fixes the build timestamp in the banner which is now
correct
    even with consecutive builds without making clean in between.
