Say you have two binaries, foo.exe and bar.so.  Foo.exe statically links against an older libc++abi and bar.so links against a newer libc++abi.  In this instance, our program has two copies of libc++abi statically linked with no ill effects and such a scenario was supported before this patch (at least AFAICT).

However, we might have problems after this patch if foo.exe is linked against a newer static library than bar.so
