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.
