I'd rather like squangling to be an additional safeguard for ABI
changes. Once we feel certain enough about the ABI changes, we should
activate them together with squangling. Backward-compatibility is then
a no-no, because the ABI has been changed.
Of course, we could also group the ABI changes with the new libstdc++,
and -fhonor-std to detect linking of incompatible binaries. This would
restrict detection to library functions only.
