It is definitely possible, json-c fucks up headers/structs at every upgrade, we're used to it. FreeBSD upgraded it already, cf https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=224675 & https://svnweb.freebsd.org/ports?view=revision&revision=457965 so the way is paved. Just need to cherrypick fixes/hacks there and there. Locally, i already know gdal and postgis fail to build with json-c 0.13.
