If I build php5 against mysql5 version 5.0.22 and then mysql5 is  
upgraded to version 5.0.24, and php5 is not upgraded, then php5 is  
still linked against mysql5 libraries version 5.0.22. This is  
probably not a problem because mysql5 libraries version 5.0.22 can  
talk to a mysql5 version 5.0.24 server without problems. But I could  
rebuild php5 if I wanted it to use mysql5 version 5.0.24 libraries.

I'm not sure how it is with opensssl or other libraries php uses.

I have observed similar and would also be curious to know what's  
going on here.
