I believe BePDF was built under BeOS, so there is no real need to rebuild
it. We only need to rebuilt stuff that had been built against some trunk
version for which we don't want to guarantee any kind of compatibility.

If built under Haiku (respectively cross-built for Haiku) after the
introduction of the versioning info in the glue code, you can check an
executable/library/add-on like this:
bonefish@graete:~/develop/haiku/haiku/generated-gcc4> objdump -D
objects/haiku/x86/release/apps/terminal/Terminal | grep -A 2
_gSharedObjectHaiku
00039028 <_gSharedObjectHaikuVersion>:
39028: 01 01 add %eax,(%ecx)
...
--
0003902c <_gSharedObjectHaikuABI>:
3902c: 00 00 add %al,(%eax)
3902e: 04 00 add $0x0,%al
Both variables are 32 bit little endian integers (the "..." stands for
omitted zeros), so that would be 0x00000101 for the Haiku version and
0x00040000 for the Haiku ABI version. Cf. <BeBuild.h> to translate them: in
this case to B_HAIKU_VERSION_1_PRE_ALPHA_2 and B_HAIKU_ABI_GCC_4. It seems
Axel removed the B_HAIKU_VERSION_1_PRE_ALPHA_1 macro -- it's value was
0x00000011. Packages built against R1 alpha 1 should indicate
B_HAIKU_VERSION_1_ALHPA_1 (0x00000100).
For anything not built under Haiku or built before the introduction of the
glue code versioning info, you can check the ".comment" section, which at
least tells you what compiler was used:
