I guess you should ask openafs-users how onerous it would be for them
to rebuild their local tools or how many have local tools linked
against shared libraries.

The only big changes I see are afsconf_BuildServerSecurityObjects() and
osi_Panic().  afsconf_BuildServerSecurityObjects() changed it's
arguments and osi_Panic() became a variadic.  These aren't commonly used
in clients but I don't know what site-local tools/servers might be out
there.
