If you define the "version number" to be the text after the last space on 
the first line of --version output as in the GNU Coding Standards, then it 
is with this patch.  I realise my ChangeLog entry is inconsistent in this 
regard; I'm happy to change it to say "between $(VERSION) and 
$${bfd_version_date}" or such other text as may be approved for avoiding 
confusion about the meaning of "version number".
