I don't know about snapshots, but the --version output from CVS binutils 
should now be like

GNU assembler (GNU Binutils) 2.17.50.20070320

ever since my patch

2007-03-01  Joseph Myers  <joseph@codesourcery.com>

        * Makefile.am (bfdver.h): Use "." not " " between version number
        and date.
        * Makefile.in: Regenerate.
        * configure.in (PKGVERSION): Default to "(GNU Binutils) ".
        * configure: Regenerate.
