What about simply adding VERSION_FILE to the PHONY targets ? in this way 
the script /tools/setlocalversion is always called and 
version_autogenerated.h is replaced only if the script find a modified 
source file.

--- a/Makefile

  LIBS := $(addprefix $(obj),$(LIBS))
-.PHONY : $(LIBS)
+.PHONY : $(LIBS) $(VERSION_FILE)
