Perhaps like this? Just grab digit-only segments that are separated
with either dot or dash (and stop when we see a non-digit like
'dirty' or 'rcX'), and make them separated with comma.
Note that I am merely guessing that "short-digit" version numbers
are acceptable by now after seeing
https://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2012-07/msg00199.html
without knowing the current state of affairs. If that is not the
case you may have to count the iteration of the loop and append or
chop the resulting string as necessary.
