I did not get v2, but never mind.
I locally modified the code and applied.

I added Link: to your original patch
just in case I make some mistake in the
code refactoring.


The final one looks as follows:

kbuild: Fix ld-version.sh script if LLD was built with LLD_VENDOR

If LLD was built with -DLLD_VENDOR="xyz", ld.lld --version output
will prefix LLD_VENDOR. Since LLD_VENDOR can contain spaces, the
LLD identifier isn't guaranteed to be $2 either.

Adjust the version checker to handle such versions of lld.
