Comment (by jdemeyer):

 My experience is that a simple hand-written makefile for building
 libraries is not portable. It might work on one particular operating
 system, but almost certainly not an all.

 So I think you should use autotools (autoconf + automake + libtool) to
 build the package (or make the package "experimental" such that it's
 explicit that it might not work).
