I'm certainly not an expert but as far as I understand, fixing the exception global lock need not break the ABI on gcc/glibc. See https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=71744

Turns out I need to read more carefully. Improvements can be done in a non-abi breaking way, but more radical changes are, according to the authors ABI breaking.
