The output of uname -r (which is stored in $RELEASE) could be
used for that.  The following check could help:

  case $RELEASE in
  [bB]*|1.0|1.[12].*)
    options="$options no-threads no-asm no-shared" ;;
  esac

This switches back to the old behaviour in case of the old
B15-B20 versions and all versions from 1.0 up to 1.2.x while
the new state is used for 1.3.x upwards.
