Why do you think so? These things don't define binary layout, so they shouldn't interfere with it. In the worst case the extra information can be ignored entirely, and you'll have the status quo of poor thread safety, fragility of manual memory management, and crashes when the header version is different than binary .so version (the last point is super annoying. Even when the OS can version .so libs, C gives you absolutely no guarantee that the header include path and defines given to the compiler are compatible with lib include paths given to the linker).
