I could be wrong, but I thought AbsExecBase was always just an EQU in
exec.i or somesuch.

Generally _AbsExecBase should only get referenced once.  You should
move its contents into _SysBase which is the normal name for the
ExecBase.  Not only does this remove a level of indirection, but
speeds things up since ExecBase can now end up in FAST RAM with 2.0.
