The thing is -- there's no solution without changing the guarantees that libc++ make. Today, libc++ guarantees that you can link TUs that were built with different versions of libc++ together. If we remove that guarantee, then we can use linkonce_odr and solve the problem that Chromium is having.

Is that guarantee something that Chromium is relying upon?
