If these apps link against Qt5 statically (which they can, assuming they pay the license fees to Digia), then they will need to recompile and release an updated version. If otoh they just ship they own set of libs and adapt LD_PRELOAD or similar, then one can still exchange the libraries. And, if they do this, then they need to do this regularly anyways to benefit from the bug fixes and potential security fixes in Qt upstream.
