I think you face a problem that I had as well with Enigmail: you
probably linked against libc version 6, which is not available on older
systems. If you add the following options in your Makefile to
EXTRA_DSO_LDOPTS, then you should be fine:

-nodefaultlibs -Xlinker --unresolved-symbols=ignore-all

You might also check the Enigmail build makefile:
