I can test it on Mac OS X 10.8. Are you building a universal binary of 
the libraries?

Why don't you just version that out?

Using "apt-get install package:architecture" as suggested here:

https://wiki.debian.org/Multiarch/HOWTO

Requires Debian 7.0 or later. For Debian 6, install the the packages

I can give you a help with this, if no one else beats me.
