Your first step should be checking for any ABI changes using abipkgdiff
and rpmsodiff. Only if there are removed symbols do you need to worry
about rebuilding consumers. However, added unversioned symbols do mean
that backwards compatibility is not preserved (i.e. an application built
against a newer version, say 1.2.1, might not work with 1.2.0 installed
if it depends on a symbol introduced in 1.2.1).
