Thanks for your patch.

I think this works but could it be more simplified?

In your commit-log, you mentioned only some of tools provide
additional information surrounded by brackets.

If so, we can
[1] remove blackets
[2] and then take the first word that consists of numbers+period


Like this:



version_string=$($gas --version | head -1 | \
	sed -e 's/(.*)//' -e 's/[^0-9.]*\([0-9.]*\).*/\1/')

MAJOR=$(echo $version_string | cut -d . -f 1)
MINOR=$(echo $version_string | cut -d . -f 2)

printf "%02d%02d\\n" $MAJOR $MINOR
