OK, cool. That means that binary wheels will be specific to the OSX
version and the word size. Even more specific than Windows.

So that just leaves SOABI. Do homebrew, macports etc actually use
different libc versions, or is there a systemwide libc that everything
uses which only changes when the OSX version changes?
