The ld-version.sh script fails on some versions of awk with the

This is due to the regular expression ".*)", meant to strip off the
beginning of the ld version string up to the close bracket, however
brackets have a meaning in regular expressions, so lets escape it so
that awk doesn't expect a corresponding open bracket.

This error was only coming in my gitlab builds but was not showing in
the build of travis-ci. Maybe it depends on the version of awk also.
