abi-1/0 is for libraries compiled with GCC 4.1.2. When we changed
to a newer version of GCC (then 4.6, now 4.7), I came up with a
better PIC layout that was incompatible with the previous version.
So GCC 4.7 uses abi-2/0. If you don't use GCC 4.1.2 or any programs
compiled with it, then you don't need abi-1/0.

I think it best to think of GCC 4.1.2 as obsolete.
