Each time you build a kernel, the number is > incremented. Look at the file /sys/compile/YOURKERNEL/version. It is also reset to zero every time you run config, because /sys/compile/YOURKERNEL/version is deleted. I'm not sure if that's a bug or a feature... Maybe we could put (the|a) version number in /etc/YOURKERNEL.version so it is kept across config runs. -- Nobody else has a .sig like this one.
