Ah, good catch!  This would certainly explain it, since the
version string appears in the assembler source via the .ident
directive the compiler always adds ...

I guess one could try to change the testsuite scripts to ignore
.ident for scan-assembler purposes.  But a much simpler fix seems
to be to just not add the branch name to the version string when
building the compiler in the first place; since those compilers
are just used for testing, it doesn't really seem necessary.

Michael, any thoughts on this?
