If you cloned the ffmpeg git repo like this:

# git clone git://git.videolan.org/ffmpeg.git ~/ffmpeg

then just change directory to wherever you cloned (~/ffmpeg in example)

# cd ~/ffmpeg

then

# git describe --tags --match N

That is the command that should be executed during the build of the videolan ffmpeg in order to generate the version stamp (instead of UNKNOWN), but apparently it's not executing on your machine.
