Ping.
(I think Joseph happens to be out, was wondering if any build maintainer or
global reviewer can take a look?)
Thanks,

would have had a space between the binutils version number and the BFD
datestamp and the end of the first line of --version output. That would
not have been an issue for release versions, and the stray word "version"
before the version number before that patch would not cause problems for
the simplified sed expressions.
Applying the following patch (that is, simplying the sed command), makes
the problem go away:
-sed -e 's/GNU gold /GNU ld /;s/GNU ld version /GNU ld /;s/GNU ld ([^)]*)
/GNU ld /;s/GNU ld \([0-9.][0-9.]*\).*/\1/; q'`
+sed -e 's/GNU gold /GNU ld /;s/GNU ld .* \(.*\)/\1/; q'`
While I think working properly for binutils versions in the past ten years
matters more than any issues with old non-release versions that probably
wouldn't work with current GCC anyway, it seems to me that this patch
would require*something* surrounded by spaces between "GNU ld" and the
version number. If you configure with --without-pkgversion, you get e.g.
GNU ld 2.28
as the complete first line of the output, and that doesn't look like it
would match the above pattern, as there's only one space not two between
"GNU ld" and the version number. So I think you need a pattern that does
allow the --without-pkgversion form of output.
Bringing back this issue, as this is still bothering our OpenACC toolchains.
If the main variance in format was the 2007 ' ' to '.' change for non-release
binutils builds, then is the attached patch okay?
What the patch does is to first look for an 8-digit part at the end
(preceded by either a space or '.'), chop it off if it exists, and then take
the last
space-preceded string.
This matching logic does appear to be more reliant on the aforementioned
GNU standard of 'everything after the last space on the first line of the
output'.
OTOH, not sure if all the testing for GNU gold, GNU ld, etc. in the current
sed pattern means much since this is already under $with_gnu_ld=yes.
(seeking approval for trunk and all active release branches)
