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".
