The current implementation has been found not to work across all distros.

The proposed implementation relies on 'sed' to both output the string
'Linux C Library' as well as to open '/proc/self/maps' without having
to use output redirection.

The current implementation relies on 'fdformat' to output the version of
'util-linux'. This does not seem to be reliable any longer, as 'fdformat'
does not seem to come preinstalled in all ditros these days.

The proposed implementation uses 'mount' to output both the version
of 'util-linux' and 'mount' proper, as 'mount' is also a part of the
'util-linux' package.

It would have saved both a bug submitter and me a few hours if
scripts/ver_linux had picked the same gcc as the build.

Since I can't see any reason why it fiddles with PATH at all this patch
therefore removes the PATH setting.

These magic greps and hacks in ver_linux to get the gcc version always break after some gcc releases.

Since now gcc >4.3 allows compiling with '--with-pkgversion' ( which can be everything 'My Cool Gcc' or something )
ver_linux will report random junk for these.

Simply use 'gcc -dumpversion' to get the gcc version which should always work.

Currently scripts/ver_linux prints "Binutils" or other random
information for the version number in the "binutils" output line
on some distributions. This patch corrects that.

When I initially submitted a patch to correct that, I was not aware
that the output from "ld -v" could differ as much as it turned out
it can, so my original fix turned out to not cover all bases.
This patch works correctly with all the different "ld -v" output
that people posted in replys to my first patch, so it should be a
clear win over what we have currently.

Fix ver_linux glibc version printing (for real this time)

Alexey Dobriyan reported that commit
4a645d5e
broke ver_linux when glibc has a 3 digit
version number, and proposed a patch.
Al Viro then suggested a simpler way to
solve the problem which I've then simply
put into patch form.

I noticed, when running scripts/ver_linux on both a Gentoo system
and a Slackware system, that the line printing the C library
version looked a little odd. So I fixed it up to be in line with
all the rest.

    Linux C Library        > libc.2.5
  New output:
    Linux C Library        2.5

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
