There's also the matter of setting the minimum symbol version in this case 
to GLIBC_2.19.  And having configure tests to ensure the only combinations 
are the (BE, ELFv1) and (LE, ELFv2) combinations it's desired to support.

Looking back at 
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2013-08/msg00096.html>, I really 
don't see a problem with having 
sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/powerpc/powerpc64/elfv2/nptl/*.abilist files to 
reflect the different symbol versions for ELFv2 (that's just what ABI 
variations for all other systems do); it's just a whole array of 
.../powerpc64le/<machine>/Implies files that seems unfortunate.
