Replying to [comment:3 simonmar]:
> In GHC we don't currently support the kind of ABI versioning you get in
C libraries where you can have a `.so` that supports multiple ABI
versions. Instead we encode the version directly in the filename of the
`.so`, as in `libHSbase-ghc6.12.3.so`. Even this is quite suspect as
there is no guarantee that a given `libHSbase-ghc6.12.3.so` has the same
ABI as another `libHSbase-ghc6.12.3.so`. The problem is that GHC is not
capable of producing a library that has a consistent, predictable, ABI.
I'd like to fix this someday, but it's not a simple task.

I Meant ABI versioning of C/Fortran/... library - non Haskell one.
