I'm not sure but i don't think so.
The problem seems to be with autopackage's gcc wrapper apgcc[1]. It
strips bogus dependencies from binaries so they will run on other
distros as well.
Seems like when the abimathview plugin is built too many dependencies
are stripped, so loading the plugin fails on missing symbols.
