generally I'm not particular in favor or against any specific
implementation. The different approaches all have their advantages and
disadvantages.
Just one comment:

agreed, though on any reasonable x86 machine this is not a problem. It
is only a problem on something as small as the ARM926 of the symsoBTS,
but then there is no point of running this on the sysmoBTS ;)

While there have been a number of changes over the last year, the
interface is not expected to change anymore at this point. Also, most
of the changes in the past were related to the board-specific "femtobts"
primitives and not to the actual layer1 API.
So at least this should not be an argument.
Regards,
Harald
