Julian,

I believe Venkat is asking about a specific Linux package,
kabi-whitelists. It contains a list of ABIs considered "stable" in a
given RHEL release, and a checker that (?)validates programs to only
contain "stable" calls (guessing a little bit, but it has some sort of
checker anyway).

Thanks,
Conrad
