I mean you can send the other patches for review already. Changing
your implementtion to use the generic ABI will basically just mean
not sending the patches tht implement your own ABI, so that's not
hard. Of course until you also have a new glibc port, you won't be
able to test that it actually works, but that is not essential for
the reviewing stage.
