Assuming that the marshalparser package can parse pyc files from newer
Python versions, I don't think this is necessary.

The functionality for building + linking only with the stable /
limited "abi3" CPython ABI is only relevant for *extension modules*,
i.e. Python modules that contain a native extension written in Rust.
This is not the case here - it's a Rust program that calls into
CPython (as opposed to the Python interpreter loading a native
extension module, which is effectively a "plugin" which is not linked
to libpython directly). add-determinism is linked *directly* to
libpython3.x.so, so it is only ever compatible with the major version
of the Python interpreter that it was built against.
