I know, and I am not sure this is TRT.
This approach leads to a propagation of directories and files which
might uselessly duplicate each other on one hand, while not providing
the appropriate flexibility on the other.
E.g., CLISP compiles to platform-independent byte-code whose format
changes relatively rarely, so having separate directories for
clisp-ver-arch-os is a total waste, which also gives the users an
impression that they cannot distribute clisp-fas files to different
arches.

I just added abi-version to the spec to address this issue.
