[New-bugs-announce] [issue26544] platform.libc_ver() returns incorrect version number

[Thomas Waldmann]

New submission from Thomas Waldmann:

platform.libc_ver() is trivially broken as it uses string comparison internally to determine the maximum libc version number (which is obviously broken as "2.9" > "2.10").
