I have discovered a flaw in the patch. :-(  

Since the version string is now present in the .comment section, that section
is always output, even if there are no input files containing .comment
sections.  This breaks many of the linker's own tests and represents unexpected
new behaviour of the linker.  *sigh*  I will have to rethink my solution.
