I know of no need to recompile code for 5.0. 

You must relink any privileged code, that is any code linked with the
VMS system symbol table (SYS$SYSTEM:SYS.STB).

We also found we had to relink our code that was linked with the TPU
callable routines in SYS$LIBRARY:TPUSHR.EXE.  Any images linked with the
V4.x version of TPUSHR get the ident mismatch error with the V5.0 version
of TPUSHR.  This is because DEC decreased the gsmatch major id in TPUSHR
from 5 to 2.  I guess this more clearly identifies the new TPUSHR as version
2.0 of TPU, but don't ask me why DEC *down*-rev'd a run-time library.
