What do you mean ? The abi flags are set by configure and not by hand.
In which issue is this explicit decision taken, and where is it motivated ?

The _PYTHON_SYSCONFIGDATA_NAME environment variable as the merit to document 
its purpose with its name. The CPython cross-compilation system is difficult 
enough to understand that this is a significant advantage.  What are the 
advantages of introducing this new _PYTHON_MULTIARCH environment variable 
instead, where else would it be used ?
