Well, any packages which depend on readline can be assumed to require a
rebuild...

Or you could check for files which link to libhistory.so.6 or
libreadline.so.6

There is even a shell snippet which can be repurposed to do that for
you, on the Arch website in the news feed (it was used during the C++
ABI change)

...

readline now provides libreadline.so and packages can depend on that to
trigger dependency errors (which are one good way of warning you a
rebuild is necessary...)
