It would have saved both a bug submitter and me a few hours if
scripts/ver_linux had picked the same gcc as the build.
Since I can't see any reason why it fiddles with PATH at all this patch
therefore removes the PATH setting.

These magic greps and hacks in ver_linux to get the gcc version always break after some gcc releases.
Since now gcc >4.3 allows compiling with '--with-pkgversion' ( which can be everything 'My Cool Gcc' or something )
ver_linux will report random junk for these.
Simply use 'gcc -dumpversion' to get the gcc version which should always work.

Currently scripts/ver_linux prints "Binutils" or other random
information for the version number in the "binutils" output line
on some distributions. This patch corrects that.
When I initially submitted a patch to correct that, I was not aware
that the output from "ld -v" could differ as much as it turned out
it can, so my original fix turned out to not cover all bases.
This patch works correctly with all the different "ld -v" output
that people posted in replys to my first patch, so it should be a
clear win over what we have currently.

Fix ver_linux glibc version printing (for real this time)
Alexey Dobriyan reported that commit
4a645d5ea6
broke ver_linux when glibc has a 3 digit
version number, and proposed a patch.
Al Viro then suggested a simpler way to
solve the problem which I've then simply
put into patch form.

I noticed, when running scripts/ver_linux on both a Gentoo system
and a Slackware system, that the line printing the C library
version looked a little odd. So I fixed it up to be in line with
all the rest.
Old output:
Linux C Library > libc.2.5
New output:
Linux C Library 2.5

scripts/ver_linux needed some minor clean-ups, as follows:
1) Add reporting of actual oprofile release
2) Add reporting of actual wireless-tools release
3) Add reporting of actual pcmciautils release

Without the attached patch, the ver_linux script gives
the following if udev utils are not present.
./scripts/ver_linux: line 90: udevinfo: command not found
The patch causes ver_linux to be silent in the case of
no udevinfo command.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
