I usually give a small sigh when I read "ABI compatibility" because it's
actually not as well defined and clear cut as you might think.  (especially
wrt. c++)

When this has come up in the past, it has been difficult to convince those
arguing in favor of the difficulty.  So rather than repeating this, I'll
issue a challenge to any interested party.

We'll start really simple (only 68 commits).

Please identify all ABI changes made between 3.14.12.7 and 3.14.12.8
and note those which are "incompatible".
