I'm using libtool in a project where I'm compiling code for the cell
processor. The cell requires different compilers to be used on sources
compiled for the PowerPC core (PPU) and the "synergistic processing unit"
(SPU). I'm building (trying to build) a libtool library for the ppu which
embeds the

Personally I've always seen interface as a contract.
A contract between a library writer and library user.
The API is the compile-time contract and the ABI is the run-time
contract.
Since it's a contract, ABI changes fall into the contract agreement.

I read a description of libtool's versioning here:
http://www.gnu.org/software/libtool/manual/html_node/Updating-version-info.html
What's confusing to me is that this way of handling versioning doesn't seem
to pay attention to ABI. It mentions bumping numbers for interface changes
(API) but not f
