[Bug 1264177] [NEW] make kernelrelease outputs the wrong variable

 

Public bug reported:

/lib/modules/3.11.0-14-generic/build/Makefile contains the following
line:

    kernelrelease:                                                                  
      @echo "$(KERNELVERSION)$$($(CONFIG_SHELL) $(srctree)/scripts/setlocalversion $(srctree))"

which is different than $(KERNELRELEASE)

Later, this makes virtualbox guest additions think that the kernel
headers for this kernel have not been downloaded.
