May I respectfully suggest something a bit more organised and less chaotic
such as:

1) A *RUNTIME* call into the library which returns an unsigned long (32-bit)
value split up as follows:

0x00010101
        ^^ release level [alpha, beta, gamma, release, post-release patch#]
      ^^ minor version
  ^^^^ major version

You can partition the release level as follows:

00-2F = pre-alpha
30-4F = alpha
50-6F = beta
70-7F = gamma 
80-FF = release

1.1b17 would be: 0x00010161
2.2.35 would be: 0x000202A3

Then you can define compile-time MACROS for

#define SPEEX_GET_FULL_VERSION (speex_lib_version())
#define SPEEX_GET_MAJOR_MINOR_VERSION (speex_lib_version() >> 24)
#define SPEEX_GET_MAJOR_VERSION (speex_lib_version() >> 16)
#define SPEEX_GET_RELEASE_LEVEL (speex_lib_version() & 0xFFUL)
#define SPEEX_GET_FULL_MINOR_VERSION (speex_lib_version() & 0xffffUL)
#define SPEEX_GET_MINOR_VERSION ((speex_lib_version() >> 8) & 0xFFUL)

2) A *RUNTIME* call into the library which returns the text-version string
of the library in use.

peex_lib_version_string() perhaps?
