I've searched and cannot find it on an installed system. Right now dmesg has the same date on the kernel "Linux version 2.6.38-8-generic (buildd@allspice) (gcc version 4.5.2 (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.5.2-8ubuntu3) ) #42-Ubuntu SMP Mon Apr 11 03:31:24 UTC 2011 (Ubuntu 2.6.38-8.42-generic 2.6.38.2)" But I think Brian's method is best. Maybe an RFE for the installer to save some sort identifier somewhere?
