Just to thicken the plot, I finally got a chance to spin up an Ubuntu vm this morning and installed by cutting/pasting the install instructions on the https://github.com/projectatomic/buildah/blob/master/install.md and the end results were:

root@ubuntutas:~/buildah/src/github.com/projectatomic/buildah# buildah version
Version:       0.16
Go Version:    go1.8.7
Image Spec:    1.0.0
Runtime Spec:  1.0.0
Git Commit:    b16a1ea
Built:         Tue Apr 24 07:01:44 2018
OS/Arch:       linux/amd64
root@ubuntutas:~/buildah/src/github.com/projectatomic/buildah# buildah --version
buildah version 0.16 (image-spec 1.0.0, runtime-spec 1.0.0)
root@ubuntutas:~/buildah/src/github.com/projectatomic/buildah# buildah -v
buildah version 0.16 (image-spec 1.0.0, runtime-spec 1.0.0)

I’m going to see what I can do with the Makefile and/or handle the error in version.go a bit better.
