Great news, I'll send a patch to eivind@ for etcmerge in order to
correct this wrong behaviour.

Thanks for your complete explanation. My osreldate.h should have the
right value since my /usr/include is updated only when I upgrade my
box.
I will extend what you said about the ``distribution'' target, so I
will also change etcmerge to use "make hierarchy" from src/ instead
of going to src/etc/ and run "make distrib-dirs".
Thank you.
