Comment (by robe):

 strk see Tom's comment.  He said we shouldn't even be using pg_config
 --version.  Wasn't sure if we should change or good reason why we are not
 using what he proposes.

 TBH, I wonder why you are doing that in the first place; it does not
 seem like the most reliable source of version information.  If you
 need to do compile-time tests, PG_CATALOG_VERSION is considered the
 best thing to look at, or VERSION_NUM in Makefiles.

 However, if you're dead set on getting a version number out of a string
 representation, you'll need to make changes similar to commit
 69dc5ae408f68c302029a6b43912a2cc16b1256c.

                         regards, tom lane
