However, why does a bump from 5.x to 5.y require a rebuild of other

Anything linked against the Perl DLL must be rebuilt.
Still, why? Is it real backward incompat, or just due to DLL
versioning? Does DLL versioning really make sense here? Usually, if
the new DLL is only providing new stuff but not breaking backward
compat, we're not bumping the DLL version.
