xastir/src/Makefile.am has this section:

--------------------------------------
compiledate.c: $(XASTIR_SRC)
         rm -f compiledate.c compiledate.o
         echo 'char compiledate[] = "'"Compiled: `date`"'";' > compiledate.c

remove_compiledate:
         rm -f compiledate.c compiledate.o
--------------------------------------

That first big creates xastir/src/compiledate.c which gets compiled
into the executable.  Look at your to see if there's a permissions
problem or similar keeping it from getting updated when you run
automake (from bootstrap.sh).  Perhaps try updating your
automake/autoconf as well.
