I don't see a need for doing this unless you conditionalize anything on
the increased version number. The only example that I can find where
this is done, is [glibc]/sysdeps/mach/hurd/configure.in for the ``new
Hurd RPC interfaces supporting 64-bit file sizes'' (ChangeLog.13).
Perhaps we should get rid of this one-dimensional scalar, and only use
real functionality probes instead? (And drop these after some years;
that is, assume that every Hurd system by now supports these 64-bit RPCs
introduced in 2002. No need to carry this legacy forever.) Roland?
