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.
