You build everything as normal. When you come to place the files in
the various packages in the binary-arch target, you will split up the
libfoo and foo files appropriately. Then everything should work.
(Just make sure that you use an option like
-Wl,-soname,libfoo.so.2,-lc to gcc when you create the shared library.)
