Assuming it only applies to private exports, it should only affect libraries 
using private API, who should recompile as we do not guarantee ABI for those, 
and in fact have runtime checks in qobject that crashes if the private version 
of a qobjectprivate doesn't match point release of qtbase.

Do you think the Suse patch would also break ABI of applications not using 
private API?
