Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: highest | Milestone: 7.0
Component: Book | Version: 6.3

--------------------------------------------+-------------------------------
The current version checking script uses the following to find the version
of binutils:
{{{
echo -n "Binutils: "; ld --version | head -n1 | cut -d" " -f3-4
}}}
This is not locale-safe, as the field numbers in the translation may not
match those in the original English message. This has already biten jhalfs
user (on findutils, not binutils).
