Downstream distros should patch the abilist to match their configuration changes.
I'm not sure if I agree with that. I'd prefer if these files remained
unmodified because differences threaten portability across distributions.
Is anyone except Fedora compiling current glibc versions with the
--enable-obsolete-* flags? Then we'll need a more intelligent ABI
differ. (If it's just Fedora, I'd prefer moving Fedora forward.)
Thanks,
Florian
