Thanks.  The rebuild rule is generated alright, but nothing depends on
the output file.  So adding
  all-local: git_version

to lib/Makefile.am would be one possibility.  In your case, you should
add git_version as prerequisite to LALVCSInfo.h.

To let rebuilding keep the right file mode, write this in configure.ac:

  AC_CONFIG_FILES([lib/git_version],
                  [chmod +x lib/git_version])

replacing the two parts you currently have for this file.

Cheers,
Ralf
