Dynamic linking doesn't mean linking is entirely delayed until runtime, the linker still wants to ensure all symbols are resolved, so checks the shared library at link time. > The reason I ask is that the application I am trying to cross compile > actually has several incompatible library errors.

You could create a dummy 32-bit shared library with the same name and soname which exports all the symbols needed by your program, then ensure the real library is found at runtime. But it would be much easier to just install the required libs.
