  • The ld-version.sh script fails on some versions of awk with the
    following error, resulting in build failures for MIPS:

    awk: scripts/ld-version.sh: line 4: regular expression compile failed (missing '(')

    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.

  • On Fedora 23, ld --version outputs:
    GNU ld version 2.25-15.fc23

    But ld-version.sh fails to parse this, so e.g. mips build fails to
    enable VDSO, printing a warning that binutils >= 2.24 is required.

    To fix, teach ld-version to parse this format.

  • The ld-version.sh script doesn't handle versions with large (>= 10) 3rd
    version components, because the 2nd component is only multiplied by 10
    times that of the 3rd component.

    For example the following version string:
    GNU ld (Codescape GNU Tools 2015.06-05 for MIPS MTI Linux) 2.24.90

    gives a bogus version number:
    20000000
    + 2400000
    + 900000 = 23300000

    Breakage, confusion and mole-whacking ensues.

    Increase the multipliers of the first two version components by a factor
    of 10 to give space for a 3rd components of up to 99, and update the
    sole user of ld-ifversion (MIPS VDSO) accordingly.
