Adding new symbols to the ABI - anything involving architecture-specific 
sysdeps changes - *is* affecting architecture testing.  In this case 
there's also the possibility of interactions with the thread types 
headers, if there's anything in the architecture-specific headers that 
works for pthreads but not for C11 threads.
