This means include/asterisk/version.h was re-made.
include/asterisk/version.h is only required by the targets 'depend' and
'.depend'

Generally if you run 'make depend' it should make
include/asterisk/version.h first.

.depend was recreated. Now the makefile is re-evaluated (as .depend is
included in it). 

A shot in the dark:

  grep 'version\.h' .depend

Side comment: 
Now why not simply:

  build_tools/mkdep $(CFLAGS) *.c

This is the same globbing. And the .c files are not going anywhere.
