Unfortunately not just rebuild. Rebuilding would be sufficient if only
the ABIs change. But if the APIs change (for instance, if a function now
has five arguments, while it had only three arguments in the previous
version, and if the data types of some of these arguments have changed
too,...), then even code changes are necessary in the programs which use
those APIs.
