The only way to get a reasonably useful date here would be to have an
automatic cvs posting on freefall every day to (say) sys/codedate.h:
#! /bin/sh
mkdir /tmp/$$
cd /tmp/$$
for f in . RELENG_2_2 RELENG_2_1_7; do
cvs co -r $f -l sys
sed 's,\(#define __FreeBSD_codedate\).*,\1 '`date +%Y%m%d` \
sys/codedate.h >sys/codedate.h.new
mv sys/codedate.h.new sys/codedate.h
cvs update -m 'Bump date' -l sys
rm -fr sys CVS
done
cd /tmp
rmdir $$
