--- Comment #10 from Ben Woodard <woodard at redhat dot com> ---
This is a hard judgement call. There may be multiple different problems
mentioned in this bug. With the current codebase as of:

commit 7952a748de3578964b2c6b8d3bb94e0bbcfb653e (HEAD -> master, origin/master,
origin/HEAD)

    Bug 29345 - abipkgdiff is confused by symlinked binaries in RPMs
<snip>
    Signed-off-by: Dodji Seketeli <dodji@redhat.com>

There seems to be some daylight between this bug and a large number of the
others:

Comparing the ABI of binaries between qt6-qtbase-6.4.2-5.fc37.aarch64.rpm and
qt6-qtbase-6.4.2-5.fc37.aarch64.rpm:

==== SELF CHECK SUCCEEDED for 'libQt6Core.so.6.4.2' ====
======== comparing'libQt6Network.so.6.4.2' to itself wrongly yielded result:
===========
  Functions changes summary: 0 Removed, 0 Changed, 0 Added function
  Variables changes summary: 0 Removed, 1 Changed (1 filtered out), 0 Added
variables

  1 Changed variable:

    [C] 'QString activeBackendName' was changed to 'static QString
QSslSocketPrivate::activeBackendName' at qsslsocket_p.h:161:1:
      declaration name changed from 'activeBackendName' to
'QSslSocketPrivate::activeBackendName'

===SELF CHECK FAILED for 'libQt6Network.so.6.4.2'

While the following package seem to exhibit this same unspecified problem:

bpftrace btrfs-progs enlightenment getdns groonga-libs mono-complete mono-core
mono-data mono-devel mono-extras mono-mvc mono-reactive mono-wcf mono-web
mono-winforms mono-winfx nest-mpich nest-openmpi nest openldap-servers pocl
qt6-qtbase ruby-libs xorg-x11-server-Xdmx

That looks like:

Comparing the ABI of binaries between getdns-1.7.3-1.fc37.x86_64.rpm and
getdns-1.7.3-1.fc37.x86_64.rpm:

======== comparing'libgetdns.so.10.2.0' to itself wrongly yielded result:
===========
  Functions changes summary: 0 Removed, 0 Changed (5 filtered out), 0 Added
functions
  Variables changes summary: 0 Removed, 0 Changed, 0 Added variable

===SELF CHECK FAILED for 'libgetdns.so.10.2.0'

The morphology being that there are filtered changes but what those changes are
is not enumerated in the way that qt6-qtbase's change is. This leads me to
suspect that they are different problems. I will be happy to split up the
issues if that would be helpful.

Glibc also has a very similar problem to all the others listed above but it
only seems to appear on ppc64le and s390x:

Comparing the ABI of binaries between glibc-2.36-9.fc37.ppc64le.rpm and
glibc-2.36-9.fc37.ppc64le.rpm:

======== comparing'libc.so.6' to itself wrongly yielded result: ===========
  Functions changes summary: 0 Removed, 0 Changed (2 filtered out), 0 Added
functions
  Variables changes summary: 0 Removed, 0 Changed, 0 Added variable

===SELF CHECK FAILED for 'libc.so.6'
