The gold version number is mainly useful for plugins; e.g., the GCC
lto-plugin tests it.  For feature tracking it would be fine to track
binutils version numbers.  But I think the kinds of features you seem
to be talking about could also have direct feature tests rather than
version tests.

That said, I don't care very much what the glibc configure script
does.  Do what seems right to you.
