Well, if we want a stable ABI, then we need to either make sure that
the ABI is suitable for all platforms, or we need to commit to having
a different ABI for JNI stubs on these other platforms.  I'd prefer
the former.

Ordinary code generation isn't the same sort of thing, since a change
there doesn't affect binary compatibility.
