I see thanks allmost everything changes as expected,
this leaves two opportunities:
A) ignore the abi change, as it is a clear improvement for alpha
   and external module should be less of a trouble on this arch.
   (considering that we haven't released yet)..
B) wait for an ABI bump to slide in those patches.

I prefer A, but will wait a while to see if anyone voices against.
