If the link is done at the same time as a compile you could maybe use the [tt]__DATE__[/tt] and [tt]__TIME__[/tt] macros.

#include <stdio.h>

static const char Date[] = __DATE__;
static const char Time[] = __TIME__;

int main(void)
{
   printf("Built on %s at %s\n", Date, Time);
   return 0;
}

/* my output
Built on Apr 26 2005 at 11:48:52
*/

You can use the above approach even if the link is done at a different time than the compile.

Just make a tiny C source file containing only the [tt]Date[/tt] and [tt]Time[/tt] symbols in the example above. Make sure this file gets compiled whenever you link the rest of your project.
