Sticking powerpc libraries inside host /usr/lib probably isn't a great
idea, but there a couple things you could consider.

-check that configure is actually building shared libraries, it'll say
something like:
	"checking whether to build shared libraries... yes"

 or within build dir: find . -name 'libnl*.so'

-review output of "make install" step, it'll tell you exactly where it
placed libraries.  maybe they're in another dir, /usr/local/lib perhaps?
