The ABI compatibility between LinuxThreads and NPTL made application binaries portable across kernels.  So NPTL picked up where LinuxThreads left. Most of its structures are defined in public headers in such a way that their sizes are exposed, and there are no allocation functions for them, so size and alignment are essentially fixed today.

At least on an hppa environment I have access, just removing the own hppa
implementation seems to not show any regressions. I think we just need to
get rid of this old and ununsed (and broken) interfaces.
