Thanks,
Imperative.
Your programs might work, but they might not, or they might work
unpredictably. The kernel, userland (and ports for that matter) are
all
intended to be kept in sync, not half -stable and half -release, so
if you
have a -stable kernel, you should have a -stable userland as well.
i.e.
yes, rebuild your userland.
The OP is referring to the patch branch, not -stable. The only time
rebuilding userland is necessary after a kernel errata is when the
errata claims it is necessary.
