Wow! I wasn't expecting so much, would have sent some rework after the
upcoming merge window.
Thank you.

Some comments below that you can probably ignore, this works for me.

Just nitpicking: this ($*) would fail if the argument contains spaces,
it's generally better to use "$@" or "$1" (with quotes)

Probably doesn't matter here as gcc/clang-version scripts have the same
problem, so if someone had a problem with that they probably would have
reported it there.

There is a bug if there is no dot at all (e.g. if binutils ever releases
a version 3 and call it version 3 and not 3.0, the script would print
30303 because cut when no delimiter is found always returns the whole
string)
This can be fixed by artificially appending a dot to VERSION:
VERSION=$(echo $first_line | sed 's/.* \([^ ]*\)$/\1/' | sed 's/^\(^[0-9.]*\).*/\1./')

I'm not sure it's worth worrying about either.


Thanks again,
