Do you mean that it does not document the format of the string that
is inserted by the LINKER_VERSION script command ?

Would this addition be sufficient for you ?

   "The inserted string is the same as would be shown on the
    first line of the output from linker if it were to be run
    with the --version option specified"

Cheers
   Nick
