My recollection is that (amongst other things) the SG15 discussion identified that
the manifest/module recipe is more tied to the library binary than the headers.
For example, (at least for libc++) one set of headers might be designed to cater for
multiple ISAs or incompatible ABIs; nevertheless, those must be distinct in the
actual library binar(ies) [either as ABI slices, or as separate entities].

Manifests/module information files therefore might need to be identified on the
basis of user’s compile flags that determine one of a set of incompatible ABI
slices.

What is your plan for dealing with this in the proposed install?
