libc++ aims to provide a stable ABI, however it does so in a manner that is 
intended to integrate with the source language, rather than by applying linker 
hacks post facto (which is very hard to do write with C++).  Every std:: class 
in libc++ is implemented inside a version namespace inside std, and then 
imported into std:: in the header.  ABI-breaking classes should be inside a new 
version namespace.

If you have examples where the ABI was not accidentally changed, then please 
report them as bugs and we will try to fix them.  If you just have unfounded 
supposition, then it is not helpful to the discussion.
