and as far as I know, Kevin Fenzi (kevin) offers access to 32-bit powerpc
machines.

You could have simply dropped the absolute library path altogether

  export LD_PRELOAD=libtsocks.so

because it is stored in default search path for libraries. That would be
arch-independent.

[...]

"man 8 tsocks" refers to /lib/libtsocks.so which doesn't match the current
packaging.

[...]

Some additional run-time testing. From the bottom of "man 1 tsocks",

|       <without any argument>
|              create a new shell with LD_PRELOAD including tsocks(8).

and the header of /usr/bin/tsocks:

| The third form creates a new shell with LD_PRELOAD set and is achieved
| simply by running the script with no arguments 
| 
| /usr/bin/tsocks
|
| When finished the user can simply terminate the shell with 'exit'

Doesn't work:

$ tsocks
/usr/bin/tsocks: insufficient arguments
$
