*shrug* If an ABI tag appears in a mangling, then the code fed to Clang
contained an __attribute__((abi_tag)). There's no other way for it to get
there. You could try preprocessing the relevant source file (with -E) and
see if the abi_tag attribute appears somewhere in the output if you're
curious how it's getting into your build.

(How sure are you that Clang is using libstdc++ 4.9.2 and not a later
version?)
