This is a "feature" introduced with 2.6.5: make clean will erase 
version.h. It has already been fixed in 2.6.6-rc1. Find patch here:
http://www.uwsg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0404.1/0307.html

In my opinion, kernel-package 8.086's trying to "fix" this problem by 
not doing a make clean makes things worse because the kernel makefile 
will now relink *all* kernel modules during the build of external 
modules such as fglrx, nvidia or whatever.
