 MacOSX 10.5.6 returns an extra "minor" version number for ld:

 % ld -v
 @(#)PROGRAM:ld  PROJECT:ld64-85.2.1

 Which causes:

 ./configure: line 1788: 82: 85.2: syntax error: invalid arithmetic
 operator (error token is ".2")

 and prevents successful configuration.

 I am running osx-packager.pl from release-0-21-fixes.  The following gets
 me past this issue, but I suspect there are better ways to do it:
