Is the C-only version incompatible with the asm version? I thought the only 
differences was that the functions would use hand-coded assembly or not. I'd 
call it a design flaw if the two aren't compatible on the ABI level with the 
public API (eg. if there's an exposed asm-only function not in the public API 
and that's not referenced directly outside of the library itself, a program 
that uses it directly it should expect such consequences). Even if there's 
exported asm-only functions, the C-only version could still define those 
functions, but make them just do an ASSERT(0) and return.
