What specifically is the motivation for this option?  Since abiflags are used in many places, most of which are hidden from the end user, why are they a problem, and what are the use cases for suppressing them?

If it's to eliminate the abiflags in the binary names, then I can get on board with that.  (IOW, instead of symlinking python3.2 -> python3.2dmu, just write out python3.2 and avoid the extra symlinks).

Please clarify.
