The keyword here is "binary".
Breaking ABI isn't important in the buildroot context of packages since
you're building from source thus you don't care about ABI.
It's the same boat like when we moved the openssl package from 0.9.8* to
1.0.*
Is there any explicit problem 3.2.18 causes that affects you?
Regards.
