let me know if you have any pointers on how to proceed with this.

If you have the source code available, I believe it is much easier to
write a proper recipe than to use a prebuilt binary, which you do not
know the exact compiler flags, which libraries you need to dynamically
link to, etc.

However, maybe someone on the mailing list has already some experience
trying to integrate prebuilt binaries into the images.

Yes, in some occasions going as far as writing a recipe for unpacking it and then re-pack it into an ipk (or whatever OE was set to do).

It's a recipe for disaster. Don't do it. Get source code, and if that isn't possible, find or write an alternative.
