           Summary: wrong GNU ld version check prevents use of symbol
                    version scripts
           Product: Samba 3.3
           Version: 3.3.1
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: Build environment
        AssignedTo: samba-bugs at samba.org
        ReportedBy: vorlon at debian.org
         QAContact: samba-qa at samba.org


The GNU ld version check in configure.in contains two bugs:

- it tries to discard all version output preceding the version number using .*,
which is greedy and throws away the major version number
- it has a 'test' syntax error by omitting spaces around the '='.

This causes samba to fail to use the symbol version scripts when creating
shared libraries with binutils 2.19.1.

Patch to follow.
