This is the device RTL. I am not aware we (want to) keep the API stable. If we 
are, I'm not sure why:

- Dynamic linking (among other things) is not really an option so people that 
link against the device runtime (should) do so statically.
- Linking against an old device runtime with a new clang seems unreasonable to 
me. If you replace clang you must replace the static runtime as the new clang 
might use new functions.

Same response as above. What is the use case here which we want to continue to 
support?
