Yes, the problem is the shared libraries.  They appear to be different
between 3.0 and 3.5-3.51.  If shared libraries are not used, you should
not have any problem.

I suppose this means that any binary that someone wants to have placed
in the osu archives should be compiled WITHOUT the shared libraries.
They will be a little larger, but at least everyone will be able to
use them.
