I expect simply recompiling the C extension should fix it.

Then it's even easier :-).

So we'd need to clarify for Zope users that they can't upgrade ZODB
unless they know their third-party C extensions don't rely on ZODB.
If they do, they'll need to recompile those extensions.  This doesn't
seem like a big problem.
