It expects the content from `cat /proc/version`:

...
      for (i = 0; i < in; i++)
        if (buffer[i] == 'L' && buffer[i+1] == 'i' &&
            buffer[i+2] == 'n' && buffer[i+3] == 'u' &&
            buffer[i+4] == 'x' && buffer[i+5] == ' ' &&
            buffer[i+6] == 'v' && buffer[i+7] == 'e' &&
            buffer[i+8] == 'r' && buffer[i+9] == 's' &&
            buffer[i+10] == 'i' && buffer[i+11] == 'o' &&
            buffer[i+12] == 'n' && buffer[i+13] == ' ')
          { 
            found = 1;
            break;
          } 
...

The change breaks the assumption:
 const char linux_banner[] =
-       "Linux version " UTS_RELEASE " (" LINUX_COMPILE_BY "@"
-       LINUX_COMPILE_HOST ") (" LINUX_COMPILER ") " UTS_VERSION "\n";
+       "Linux version %s (" LINUX_COMPILE_BY "@"
+       LINUX_COMPILE_HOST ") (" LINUX_COMPILER ") %s\n";

Please revert this change.
