I've just tried to google for "mariadb invalid use of VERSION in input
file" and the very first match was the one that explains everything.

This is a bug in gold linker, see
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=16895 and
https://mariadb.atlassian.net/browse/MDEV-5982

Use ld as a workaround.

Sergei
