What would a build of a language be?

I don't think we'll need any version numbers as deep in a hierarchy as that. 
But it could've been done as a three-level versioning system.  So, for 
example, DMD 1.02.06 would be the 7th release of the compiler for D 1.02, 
which is the third version of the D1 spec.  This would have enabled 
developers to target particular versions of D to a greater extent than is 
possible under the current system.

You mean because of bugs coming in and out?
