From a consistency perspective, I think it'd be better for `libcxxabi` to also refer to a system ABI library, and then use a different name for the in-tree one, perhaps `default`?

However, I'd like to avoid `default` since it doesn't convey any information, and it also used to be one of the valid values but it represented "whatever automatically selected ABI we pick", which might not be libc++abi. I'd suggest `libcxxabi` and `intree-libcxxabi`. It's not extremely pretty, but it conveys exactly what it is.

Indeed, I think that most people who specify `libcxxabi` are expecting to build against the in-tree one, which is what happens today as long as they have `libcxxabi` in their `LLVM_ENABLE_RUNTIMES`. With this renaming, they would implicitly start building against the system libc++abi, and that might happen silently. I'm not sure I like this. So, here's the diff to implement this change, however I'd rather not apply it unless you think consistency is more important that this concern:

> Yes - if this changes the behaviour for all existing users who build with `-DLIBCXX_CXX_ABI=libcxxabi`, I think it's not worth all the breakage it'd cause.
Do we know how many users set `-DLIBCXX_CXX_ABI=libcxxabi` explicitly rather than simply relying on the default value? I wouldn't expect it to be very common, but I agree that it may not be worth the breakage.
A potential solution would be to introduce a new value `libc++abi` and print a warning if users set `libcxxabi` and fallback to the existing behavior. In any case, this is something that can be done in a follow up change.
