// Compare given libc name and version number to system name and version.

// Returns
// - 0 if the libc name matches is at least the minimum version (if given).
// - 1 if the libc name doesn't match or the version is lower than requested.
// - 2 if the requested libc name isn't recognised.
// - 3 if there was a usage error (it also prints an error message).
