One reason adding -g doesn't work at times is if the kernel is
recompiled by a person with a different length username. vers.c
is produced with a string which is a different length which screws
up the offsets.
Maybe newvers.sh should pad usernames to the legal max? Maybe we should
warn people to touch vers.c after editing the Makefile?
