Why does Makefile depend on version.c?

Does anyone know why we have this:
Makefile: $(srcdir)/Makefile.in config.status $(srcdir)/version.c \
in gcc/Makefile? The same goes for:
config.status: $(srcdir)/configure $(srcdir)/config.gcc version.c
It's hard for me to see why changing the version number requires these
things to be rebuilt.
Thoughts?
