Note that rebuilding might not be enough. While recompilation might work fine, some 
packages might not be completely compatible with GDAL 2.2 without adjustements at source 
code level (they should not crash normally, but might have not expected behaviour)

See
https://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/browser/branches/2.2/gdal/MIGRATION_GUIDE.TXT

Particularly the RFC 67 changes have required changes at least in QGIS, Fiona and perhaps r-
gdal or something related to it (can't remember exactly)
