Yes, FreeBSD has:

lib/libgnutls.so
lib/libgnutls.so.47

After the update, it will become

lib/libgnutls.so
lib/libgnutls.so.48

so all the applications that link to libgnutls has to be recompiled,
which is unnecessary as far as I understand.

However, libtool documentation indeed tells to bump current version:

http://www.gnu.org/software/libtool/manual/html_node/Updating-version-info.html

which is quite confusing...
