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.
