I don't know anything about the portability side but this seems
to work for me:
sophis.c:
/* a sophis-tercated example */
extern void grunt(char *);
int main()
{
grunt("Hello world.\n");
}
tercated.c:
/* a sophis-tercated example */
#include<stdio.h>
void grunt(char * foo)
{
printf(foo);
}
And then:
$ gcc --shared -o libgrunt.so tercated.c
(as root)
# cp libgrunt.so /usr/local/lib/
# ldconfig -v
$ gcc -o sophis sophis.c -lgrunt
$ ./sophis
Hello world.

I suppose there is more to it than this -- depending on your
application -- but I don't know what. The path /usr/local/lib
has to be in the configuration in /etc/ld.conf and should not
be /usr/local/lib if you are actually making a ".deb".
