Most things should work. As far as I am aware, recompilation only makes a
difference when mex files crash out for some reason with an error. As long
as there's no error, then there shouldn't be a problem. This only applies to
Linux, where the mex files were compiled with a compiler that is not
recommended for R14. There is a workaround though:

If I had access to the right compiler, then I could easily create mex files
that wouldn't have this problem.

For other platforms, then things may work OK. We only had R14 installed
relatively recently, so things haven't been extensively checked out. If
possible, try to use MATLAB 7.0.1 (R14SP1). This contains a number of Matlab
bug fixes (i.e. fixes for bugs in Matlab 7.0, which us SPM developers can't
do anything about).
You may also want to show these web pages to your system administrators:
