Well, it turns out there is a bug in getting the version number:

$ diff -Naur wdiff.c wdiff.c.fixed  
--- wdiff.c     2010-03-25 23:50:50.000000000 +0100
+++ wdiff.c.fixed       2010-03-25 23:50:24.000000000 +0100
@@ -1194,7 +1194,7 @@
        print_copyright ();
        exit (0);

-      case 'v':
+      case 'V':
        printf ("GNU %s %s\n%s\n", PRODUCT, VERSION, copyright);
        exit (0);

best regards,
