use of __FILE__ may also add extra unexpected size: For
packaging, configure is often run outside of $srcdir with a absolute
path name. This may result in long __FILE__ strings, like
/home/maintainer/packaging/grub/tmp/grub-1.96+20081105-1/src/grub-1.96/kern/disk.c

That requires more bytes than a 32-bit integer.

Hi,
Since it looks like the ABI part inspires more need for debate/discussion,
I propose merging the rest first. Support for ABI tracking is not essential
for building external modules (in Debian, it's barely necessary).
Here's a new patch. If nobody objects, I'll commit it in a few days.

I'd prefer that a lot. Users don't necessarily have an idea on what
magic value they need.
