.note.tag, readelf and dsynth version detection

Hello,
It seems that dsynth defines the system version based on the .note.tag(s) in
/bin/sh and a necessary condition is that these entries follow in a
certain order.  On my system this is not so :)

rabbit at fly ~% readelf -x .note.tag /bin/sh

Hex dump of section '.note.tag':
  0x00400218 0a000000 04000000 20000000 44726167 ........ ...Drag

struct NoteTag {
        Elf_Note note;
        char osname1[12];
        int version;            /* e.g. 500702 -> 5.7 */
        int x1;
        int x2;
        int x3;
        char osname2[12];
        int zero;
};
