Title:
  qemu -version output is incorrect with configure --with-pkgversion

Status in QEMU:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Since qemu v2.7.0, up to the current master
  (1883ff34b540daacae948f493b0ba525edf5f642)
  the pkgversion feature appears to have a bug:

  $ ./configure --target-list=x86_64-softmmu --with-pkgversion=foo

  Results in this output:

  $ x86_64-softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64 -version
  QEMU emulator version 2.8.90(foo)

  This appears to have been introduced in:

  67a1de0d19 Makefile: Derive "PKGVERSION" from "git describe" by
  default

  The previous commit (077de81a4c) produces this output:

  $ x86_64-softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64 -version
  QEMU emulator version 2.6.50 (foo), Copyright (c) 2003-2008 Fabrice Bellard
