Static libraries are not supposed to be compatible across development
environments. You should ask the third party for a shared library or a
static library intended for your distribution.
For the future, I would not let myself be dependent on a third party's
ability to ship updated libraries. The next incompatabilty may be even
harder to work around. Insist on a shared library.
