Description
`patdiff -version` outputs "NO_VERSION_UTIL" instead of a correct version corresponding to the release.
I tested by building from source on tag v0.17.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reproducing `patdiff -version` from source at tag v0.17 and trace the version-reporting entry point. Identify why it emits `NO_VERSION_UTIL` instead of the release version, then verify that the command reports the correct v0.17 version when rebuilt from that tag.
