It looks like this is what the docs have to say wrt making tests pass:
```
Distribute Native Libraries

Another option is to build a 64-bit Linux version of the library,
distribute it as a package, and make the package a platform-specific
dependency of your package for the "x86_64-linux-natipkg" platform.

This option is in many ways the best one for users and for
testing—especially if Windows and Mac OS native-library packages are
also provided—but it’s more work.
```

This isn't enough though, we need to know what distro to target. Even
in situations where I would love to bundle native packages, these can
have a large amount of dependencies that are specific to individual
distros.
