The problem is that one might want to use libstdc++ (GCC) and libc++ (LLVM) along with
GCC ABI and LLVM ABI, respectively. Fedora currently enables the GCC case, but one has to
fall back to GCC ABI even when using an LLVM library.
Providing a useful development environment for libc++ is a lot of work.
We would have to compile most C++ libraries twice, so that they can be
used with either C++ standard library, and provide tooling to prevent
accidental cross-linking reliably. I really do not see the benefit for
the developer. More choice isn't always an improvement.
