gcc/REVISION in trunk?

Hello All
It seems that gcc/Makefile.in and friends support that the gcc/REVISION contains some revision numbering.
Why does gcc/REVISION in the trunk svn does not contains something like
$Revision$
or perhaps having the gcc/Makefile.in containing something like around line 805
REVISION := $(shell svn info $(srcdir) | $(AWK) '/Revision/{print $$2}')
or some more robust trick?
I mean, there is very probably a way to retrieve automagically the svn revision number of the trunk.
If it is not used, I would believe there are profound reasons for that. Which ones?
(or perhaps I am wrong in regularily updating my trunk's copy with svn update ??)
Regards.
