We have broken ABI compatibility with Python 2.6, but unladen --without-llvm should be ABI compatible with itself. In the future we would probably want to set up a buildbot to make sure we don't mess this up. One thing we have done is to add #ifdef'd attributes to things like the code object, but so long as you don't touch those attributes, you should be fine.
