Awesome! Thanks for testing. :)
We could actually use this in Android for a VTS test I've, uh, been
meaning to write. Also, LOL at scrubbing the "compatible with" part,
reminds me of user agent strings in the browser, which are god awful.
Heh, yeah. That's there because (actually, I think _you_ told me this
when I asked during the ClangBuiltLinux summit) other tools scanned the
LD version string for the binutils-specific bits. For this, since it's
newly added to the kernel /proc/version, nothing is already expecting to
find an LD string, and it looked super weird in there if I left it
as-is. Hence, scrub!

Thanks for the patch! This is a great idea. The linker version may be
more useful if link-time optimizations or future post link-time
optimizations are enabled. The linker will do code generation just like
the compiler and there will be lots of variety. The LD version can
become more useful in the future.
+ LD_VERSION=$($LD -v | head -n1 | sed 's/(compatible with [^)]*)//' \
This User-Agent style hack reminds me of https://reviews.llvm.org/D31199
... Looks like nobody had posted patch to teach libtool about LLD yet!
So, I just posted a patch. It should appear on
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/libtool-patches/2020-04/index.html in
less than 15 minutes.
As what Nathan has just said
