What architecture?  Not everyone uses 32 bit Intel 686.  (uname -a is 
more useful that /etc/issue.)  The package structure is irrelevant,

Seems to me that you can use a dynamically linked version, as long as 
you have an appropriate LDLIBRARYPATH.  Even if there wwe some reason 
why you couldn't have shared objects, you could static link private 
libraries and dynamic link system ones.
