Note the "GNU" here!

I don't believe the GNU distribution has reached this version number.
I think you must have the Aladdin distribution which is more
significant than the particular version number.

The total number of devices available in each distribution is enormous;
but those to be included can easily be selected at compilation, and the
default selection in distributions can be quite different.
