On gnewsense 3, ld --version outputs:
GNU ld (GNU Binutils for Debian) 2.20.1-system.20100303
Copyright [...]
The date at the end severely confuses the version parser.
Furthermore, awk is mawk, whose gsub takes ')' as grouping, so it
complains about the missing '('.
Also, once a[1] is multiplied by 1e7, mawk's print spits out the number
in exponential notation, which confuses the -lt test. In order to avoid
that falling back to floating-point numbers, I've used smaller
multipliers and concatenated (truncated) integers. Yuck.
I've modified the script so that it takes the - as a separator too, and
so that it works on both gawk and mawk. Here's the ld-version.sh that
worked for me. I guess this will have to be combined with your patch
somehow.
#!/usr/bin/awk -f
# extract linker version number from stdin and turn into single number
{
gsub(".*[)]", "");
split($1,a, "[-.]");
printf "%i%04i\n", a[1]*10000 + a[2]*100 + a[3], (a[4]*100 + a[5])%10000;
exit
}
