Yes, something like this.

At first glance I didn't see you wanted to get the date of the last modified 
file into xversion.h.

Your suggestion will fail the first time because $? will contain the list of 
all the source files.

I was thinking to that:

xversion.h: $(filter-out xversion.h,$(wildcard *.[ch]))
	echo '#define BDATETIME "$(shell date -r $(firstword $(shell ls -t $?)) 
'+%b %e %Y %H:%M')"' >$@

However, the contents of xversion.h will be wrong if some source file is 
deleted.

I must admit my proposition is a bit insane ;-)
