The recipe is very simple:

  . Build Emacs with these commands:

     ./configure
     make
     cd lisp && make recompile EMACS=../src/emacs
     make

  . Start Emacs with "emacs -q" and visit any C file.

They say

   c-mode compiled with CC Mode 5.30.7 but loaded with 5.30.8 - evaluating 
language constants from source

More details from the *Messages* buffer:

  Loading cc-mode...
  Loading cc-langs...done
  Loading cc-mode...done
  c-mode compiled with CC Mode 5.30.7 but loaded with 5.30.8 - evaluating 
language constants from source
  Loading cl-extra...done
  Loading cl-seq...done
  Loading vc-cvs...done

Note that "make recompile" in the lisp/ directory does not recompile
any files even after this warning is displayed.  So obviously
lisp/Makefile doesn't know about whatever hidden dependency that
triggers this problem.

In case it matters, the last ChangeLog entry for cc-mode files I have
on this system is from 2003-11-16.  AFAIR, such warnings happen every
time there's some major update of the cc-mode files in the CVS
(probably every time c-version changes).
