Now, my knowledge on linking-against-libc thiings regarding FPC are a bit
rusty, but I'm quite positive we don't need the .so files there at linking
stage, but we need the accompanying .a files from the -dev package?

However, these also seem to be installed in /usr/lib32... So build running
now, lets see what happens.
