Not without system reconfiguration so that the system searched for libs
there, and getting this fault-free is near impossible.

The only solution is to not do that and link everything that is potentially
a risk into one big binary. Commercial vendors.

But they often only support one or two distributions formally.

In general, this IMHO is a dead end. Many have tried, and many have failed.
Even if it works, the maintenance effort is even more killing than the
current situation, since you are totally on your own.
