I haven't worked on Evergreen, but lately I've found need to build some specific packages that were developed on Debian or Ubuntu based distros. My approach has been to create a separate /opt/foreign mount and then rebuild what libraries I could and place them there. It worked, but I wouldn't want to do it for anything big. If you have a build environment on Ubuntu, I suppose another option would be to statically link everything.
