I took a look at the backup script that is shipped with samba (I run a 
modified version, that does some things a bit different). You are right. 
The lib/private directory with *.so files is included in the backup.

If you restore, you can exclude this directory or ensure, that you 
compiled with the same options. And if you have to recover, always do it 
on the same version, you made the backup. Never recover and update at once.
