It's unfortunate that this happened; generally the plan for release
branches is not to have ABI changes.  But sometimes that's really
difficult to avoid depending on how upstream packages behave.  One
netbsd-7 system i have has newer libraries from about May, and I didn't
notice this issue.

Alternatively, you can just unpack the 7.1 release sets someplace, and
copy the older libraries into place.
