cmdlineargs test fails on RC1

[mauro3]

The tests fail on my 0.4-RC1 build in cmdlineargs.jl. The failure is due to julia -v returning '0.4.0-dev`:

~/julia/julia-0.4((HEAD detached at v0.4.0-rc1))  >> ./julia -v
julia version 0.4.0-dev

~/julia/julia-0.4((HEAD detached at v0.4.0-rc1))  >> ./julia

I encountered this recently too. You need to build from a clean repo or at least delete src/julia_version.h and the sysimage so that it is rebuilt with the correct version string.

Ok, sorry for the noise.

No worries. It caught me unaware in #12959.
