I encountered a build system with SeaBIOS in a git submodule of the main project. The main project has an out-of-tree build, and currently *copies* everything from the SeaBIOS submodule (except .git) into the build directory and building it there. It creates a .version file with the overall version number of the main project. By setting OUT= and KCONFIG_CONFIG= I can do a proper out of tree build from the original read-only SeaBIOS submodule... except for the version number. This solves that.
