Masahiro Yamada 052c805a18 kbuild: LD_VERSION redenomination
Commit ccbef1674a ("Kbuild, lto: add ld-version and ld-ifversion
macros") introduced scripts/ld-version.sh for GCC LTO.

At that time, this script handled 5 version fields because GCC LTO
needed the downstream binutils. (https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/4/8/272)

The code snippet from the submitted patch was as follows:

    # We need HJ Lu's Linux binutils because mainline binutils does not
    # support mixing assembler and LTO code in the same ld -r object.
    # XXX check if the gcc plugin ld is the expected one too
    # XXX some Fedora binutils should also support it. How to check for that?
    ifeq ($(call ld-ifversion,-ge,22710001,y),y)
        ...

However, GCC LTO was not merged into the mainline after all.
(https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/4/8/272)

So, the 4th and 5th fields were never used, and finally removed by
commit 0d61ed17dd ("ld-version: Drop the 4th and 5th version
components").

Since then, the last 4-digits returned by this script is always zeros.

Remove the meaningless last 4-digits. This makes the version format
consistent with GCC_VERSION, CLANG_VERSION, LLD_VERSION.

# For the pre-R6 code in arch/mips/vdso/vdso.h for locating
# the base address of VDSO, the linker will emit a R_MIPS_PC32
# relocation in binutils > 2.25 but it will fail with older versions
# because that relocation is not supported for that symbol. As a result
# of which we are forced to disable the VDSO symbols when building
# with < 2.25 binutils on pre-R6 kernels. For more references on why we
# can't use other methods to get the base address of VDSO please refer to
# the comments on that file.
#
# GCC (at least up to version 9.2) appears to emit function calls that make use
# of the GOT when targeting microMIPS, which we can't use in the VDSO due to
# the lack of relocations. As such, we disable the VDSO for microMIPS builds.
