Looks like 121f71f (Git 1.7.10.4, 2012-06-03) forgot to update DEF_VAR
in GIT-VERSION-GEN. Operator error from the maintainer?

It builds with the right version from the git repository (which runs
git-describe and sees we are on the v1.7.10.4 tag), but exporting the
tag's contents and building fails. I suspect that the git-1.7.10.4
tarball on kernel.org would also have the same problem.
