Another thought is that the comparison could be inside ld-version.sh (or a replacement) so that it can compare the array of version components directly instead of using a constructed integer as a proxy.

It's close. That code doesn't quite work for my version number because the third component has two
digits and overflows into the second component in the proxy integer:
$ echo 2.24.51.20140217 |
> awk '/[0-9]+([.]?[0-9]+)+/ && !/not found$/{
> match($0, /[0-9]+([.]?[0-9]+)+/)

> split(bin, a, ".")
> print a[1]*10000000 + a[2]*100000 + a[3]*10000}'
22910000

but adding a zero to the first two scale factors, or removing one from the third works for me.
$ echo 2.24.51.20140217 | awk '/[0-9]+([.]?[0-9]+)+/ && !/not found$/{
> match($0, /[0-9]+([.]?[0-9]+)+/)

> split(bin, a, ".")
> print a[1]*100000000 + a[2]*1000000 + a[3]*10000}'
224510000
$ echo 2.24.51.20140217 | awk '/[0-9]+([.]?[0-9]+)+/ && !/not found$/{
