You need a file in the gen subdirectory called version.c, which ought
to contain the following single line:

----
char version_string[] = "2.1b7";
----

If you have that file, then the Makefile apparently is missing it when
you link. You'll have to hack the Makefile and add it to the list of
objects linked into ns.exe.
