Check out this thread in the archives:

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/avr-gcc-list/2005-09/msg00220.html

Especially the sub thread from me, Anton Erasmus, and Dave Hansen. I 
show a method to create a version string and Anton and Dave show how to 
properly compile the version string instead of using the ugly make hack 
I came up with.
