OK, then I agree that it is not important to fix this problem in the
current packages.

I will try to see if we can rework the way .oct files are loaded in
the main development branch so that it does not depend on C++ name
mangling to do the job.  Then we can eliminate the CXX_ABI macro and
this (ugly) part of the configure script.
