Thanks for the suggestion! I think this wants to be

  version=${version%%[!0-9.]*}

because of "If an open bracket introduces a bracket expression as in XBD
RE Bracket Expression, except that the <exclamation-mark> character
('!') shall replace the <circumflex> character ('^') in its role in a
non-matching list in the regular expression notation, it shall introduce
a pattern bracket expression." from the link that you have below.

That does work for me with all the different linker versions that I can
easily access (Arch, Debian, Fedora) along with my own self built
toolchains, so it seems like it should be pretty robust.

Masahiro, would you be okay with me sending a v2 with that change or do
you foresee any issues where it would not be sufficient? I would
probably change the comment to:

  # There may be something after the version, such as a distribution's
  # package release number (2.34-4.fc32) or a comma (like LLD adds
  # before the "compatible with GNU linkers" string), so remove anything
  # that is not a number or a period.
