compilers: use correct version comparison for openbsd libraries

It should *be* a version comparison. We are guaranteed to get a
two-element version number, which also parses as a float but a float
doesn't correctly handle version sorting when the second component
differs in number of digits.

The standard way to handle this is by comparing tuples such that each
component is an integer. Do so here.

Fixes #12195
