There is one "nit" I've discovered.  gnu/dist/gcc/gcc/configure doesn't
properly determine that hidden support works and so libgcc3 fails to
compile fptr.c.  I've been thinking of moving the test from 3.4 and see
if it works better.  But it really looks like it might be a sed bug.

echo GNU ld version 2.13.2.1 | sed -n 
's,^.*[ 
]\([0-9][0-9]*\.[0-9][0-9]*\(\|\.[0-9][0-9]*\(\|\.[0-9][0-9]*\)\)\)\([ 
].*\|\)$,\1,p'

on linux it returns "2.13.2.1" but on netbsd and solaris8 it returns
a null string.
