Subject: Re: [PATCH 01/22] ver_linux: gcc -dumpversion, use regex to find
 version number

I tried out patches 1-22 on a Fedora 22 system with the v4.3-rc5
source tree; everything looks pretty good.  The old ver_linux script
didn't get the mount version right, but the new one does

< mount                  debug
> Mount            2.26.2

One minor thing with Net-tools, the old version printed

< Net-tools              2.10-alpha

while the regex the in the new version skips the '-alpha'

> Net-tools        2.10

Though I'm not a big fan of patch 22 (the sed hold space thing) there
are several nice improvements all in all.
