The discussion above concluded that it would be a better idea to make
the abi check a little smarter, than to remove tests.  It would be
nicer if the abilist file format is extended to denote data symbols
that are a function of configuration variables and adjust
expectations.  It's a non-trivial task but I'd think of that as the
way forward.
