Due to the multilib-portage conflicts pointed out by Tommy, and other
potential issues resulting from spreading the use of abi_* constants
over the tree, I have decided to withdraw these patches for now.

They may be re-considered in the future when multilib-portage will
respect and use the eclass, or when a better and less conflicting
method is found.
