Every time you compile a new Emacs binary, the minor release version is
increased by 1, it is a compilation counter. Existing binaries are not
overwritten, you could have emacs-23.2.1, emacs-23.2.2 etc in
parallel. During extensive development phases, I have had more than 100
compiled binaries in parallel :-)
Once you apply `make bootstrap', all binaries are removed, and counting
restarts with 1.
