There is only iemlib.pd_linux (resp. iemlib1.pd_linux + iemlib2.pd_linux).

It is all explained in this subthread: 
https://lists.puredata.info/pipermail/pd-list/2021-09/130014.html

TL;DR: in your main patch you have to put

[declare -path iemlib -path iemabs -lib iemlib -lib iemlib1 -lib iemlib2]
