We've recently changed the versioning of development builds and when we bump the hardcoded VERSION file https://github.com/dlang/dmd/pull/6935. Looks like we need to update that file for every pre-release now to please all the external builds that blindly use the VERSION file. As we want (and might at some point) get rid of that VERSION file, builds should already prefer to pass the version explicitly (make -f posix.mak VERSION=v2.075.0-b2 RELEASE=1), unless they are cloning the repo and can rely on git describe.
