Hi @mateuszlewko ,

I wonder if the new wheel build process (with ansible) can disable cxx_abi when it builds a torch_xla wheel for a release branch (such as r2.0). We recently build a torch_xla wheel (on pt/xla branch r2.0, cuda 11.8, python=3.10). From the log, it seems it still enables cxx_abi (I see -D_GLIBCXX_USE_CXX11_ABI=1 in the log above, which make me think it enables cxx_abi. Please correct me if I'm wrong.). Building an official torch_xla with cxx_abi enabled causes torch_xla wheel to be incompatible with torch's wheel.

What we used to do in the release branch, is to first apply a torch patch (as in this pr), then disable the cxx_abi (as in this pr). So my question is

1. With ansible, does the wheel have cxx abi enabled?
2. If so for above question, with ansible, is it possible to apply the torch patch file first and then set the flag to be false?

Thanks.
