Thanks for clarifying, since it gives me an excuse to emphasize
something important:
Different ABIs for different distros is an awful idea. Just think
about the consequences for a moment. They are bad.
Luckily it is possible to have a configurable prefix without
sacrificing shared ABI (phew!). I believe that is worth pursuing.
