No, they should be normal inputs - they should be compiled for the target
architecture where the binary is supposed to be run. The binaries themselves
will link dynamically to the libraries.

You could search for it in the build log, in particular during the configure
phase. And you could run "ldd" on the resulting binary and check whether
the libraries appear.
