  Hi,

 I've got to answer this question on RedHat FC4 when building a kernel
in verbose mode:
$ make V=1 /boot/linux-2.6.14-rc2.kgz
  .. lot of log ...
  set -e; if [ ! -r .version ]; then rm -f .version; echo 1 >.version;
else mv .version .old_version; expr 0$(cat .old_version) + 1 >.version;
fi; make -f scripts/Makefile.build obj=init
mv: overwrite `.old_version', overriding mode 0644? y

 I do not know why it is only when verbose is ON.
 Either add the -f option to mv (or alternatively call /bin/mv)
in this part of patch-2.6.14-rc2 file b/Makefile :
