Version 2.9 of kindlegen has been the latest one for many years and that is what is included in the Kindle Previewer.

A Master MOBI produced by kindlegen should be about three times the size of the source file since it contains the original source along with copies of the book in MOBI7 and KF8 formats.

It is very odd that your Linux kindlegen produces such a small file.
