Off the top of my head:

- I have broken one but not the other on several occasions, involving
differences in the handling of instruction and data caches, but unless
you're touching the linker or the jit, it shouldn't matter.

- Tegras don't have neon instructions, so wrong build flags, or wrong run
time detection could trigger failures on one end and not the other.

- GPUs on tegras and pandas, as well as their supporting libraries,
differ, too. But unless you are touching graphics code, that shouldn't
matter, unless your changes trigger some pre-existing bug..

So, while chances of breaking one and not the other are slim, they do
exist.
