By definition.

Please post the log, otherwise nobody will diagnose your problem and you
will be on your own. I only add, my last comment before seeing the
actual log, that changing the *compiler* abi doesn't make much sense, I
never do that, same for the other maintainers AFAIK, and certainly
cannot be the real issue, because the compiler abi used to generate the
reference baseline for the symbols of the library is the default, that is 2.
