You have only to update binutils and glibc.

The new ABI changes PLT. So it makes binary imcompatibility on
shared libraries and all dynamically linked programs which use
PLT. But the new ld.so in glibc can handle old/new objects at
the same time and you have not to recompile shared libraries and
userland programs at all.
Of course, kernel doesn't use PLT and is never affected this
ABI change.
