 Oh, it happens all the time that new ABIs are defined for a given CPU 
architecture as circumstances change or lessons are learnt from past 
mistakes, and they can all coexist in a single running system if required, 
as the so called multilibs.  Otherwise we'd be stuck with wrong solutions 
forever.
