libz patch?



Greetings,

Just curious, I noticed the recent security
announcement about libz patch:

ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/patches/3.5/common/017_libz.patch


The instructions say to do the following after
applying the patch: ( cd /usr/src/lib/libz && make obj
depend && make && make install )


This will (i imagine) build the libz.{a,so} and
install them along with the header file(s) on the
system.

But what about any other binaries/programs already
built and linked (statically) with the faulty libz.a
(read: libz prior to this patch)?

Is there a list maintained to indicate which
system-installed binaries also need to be re-built
after such a patch?  Or are all system-installed
binaries linked dynamically to libz?

I'd guess that there is no such list but I thought I'd
ask anyway :-)
