The `+´ is emitted to indicate that you have modifications to your tree 
beyond an official release, so your tree is actually not 3.2.0 but rather 
it has additional changes on top of 3.2.0.

To suppress it, use "make LOCALVERSION="

The version string is written to include/generated/utsrelease.h at the 
beginning of the build.
