The concern is that one could try to compile an audit library on a different platform and have it seem like it's ok because the signature happens to match, but in fact the audit library's pltenter/pltexit functions have not been ported properly to the machine you are compiling for. Since those implementations are always machine-specific, having the API distinguish the machine in the names makes sure you have considered the target machine specifically.
