+# Testing configuration for back-deployment against older Apple system libc++abi.

+# however we run against the libc++abi on a different platform. This emulates the workflow of
+# a developer building their application using recent tools but with the goal of deploying
+# on existing devices running an older OS (and hence an older dylib).
