If it doesn't touch any shared files (except perhaps the usual elf.h
additions), then there isn't any strong reason to keep it from going in.
But it would be up to the new machine's maintainer to attest that enough
real-world testing has been done to be sure that there are no ABI snafus
and the like. Certainly brewing in trunk for most of a cycle seems wiser.
