[New-bugs-announce] [issue27201] expose the ABI name as a config variable

[Matthias Klose]

New submission from Matthias Klose:

Some python extensions provide/rely on support libraries which are shipped in addition to the extension module, and which depend on the Python ABI (version and ABI flags). talloc is such an example, and it currently uses the SOABI as the symbol version for symbols exported in such a support library. In 3.5 and 3.6, the SOABI includes the architecture definition as well, so you end up with different symbol versions and library names across  architectures, which is not wanted. Therefore expose just the ABI in a new macro. Now choosen ABINAME, but that could be something different as well.
