Everything from the package pools of Debian may be safe, yes.
But there are other programs from third party vendors, which may show
the same problem, which cannot be rebuild, because they are proprietary
software. What about them?
The way I see it is that libselinux1 and/or libc6 changed in an
binary-incompatible way and should be fixed in a way which does not
require a rebuild of eventually affected software.
