On reflection, I don't think doing anything special for PS4 here is really correct. (Suppose Clang 5 has some (accidental) ABI change in it for PS4, and we fix that in Clang 6 to once again follow the psABI and do what Clang 3.2 did. In that case, building with `-fclang-abi-compat=5` should theoretically reinstate that accidental ABI change.) The old-Clang compatibility mode and the platform ABI are separate, and we should not conflate them. New patch on the way.
