NiLuJe's suggestion of tweaking LD_LIBRARY_PATH is probably the best way short of recompiling.

I vote for second best, but if your going to do it ...

Put your modification inside of: */extensions/kterm/bin/kterm.sh
Where '*/' is either: "/mnt/us/" or "Kindle:/" depending on from where your viewing USBstorage.

First best, include the library location in the executable's header instead of the wrapper script.
Note that there are two executables:
kterm and matchbox-keyboard (whose keycaps are *.png images).

Combining the above with including protection from updates while not running out of room in /lib:

There is a provision in the ELF format to make the dynamic loader's search order act the same as that used by Windows.
I.E: Libraries are searched for first in the same directory as the executable (or other requester).

The dynamic loader recognizes a special wildcard in the DT_RUNPATH (DT_RPATH is obsolete), which is:
$ORIGIN
exactly as printed above.
The tool to do this with is: patchelf

Going from a combination of memory and "man patchelf" (and presumes you have a backup of the kterm install) - - -

cd /mnt/us/extensions/kterm/bin

patchelf --print-rpath kterm
patchelf --print-rpath matchbox-keyboard

# patchelf edits in-place and does not have a prepend option, so
# on your scratch pad, prepend whatever was printed above by:
# $ORIGIN:</whatever/rpath/was:/already/here.so>
# Note that it IS a path, using the ':' separator.

patchelf --set-rpath $ORIGIN<:whatever> kterm
patchelf --set-rpath $ORIGIN<:whatever> matchbox-keyboard

# Copy any required libraries that are missing from the Amazon image
# into the same directory that the executables are in (*/extensions/kterm/bin).

# Now shrink the rpath to the minimum while checking if all things
# tagged as DT_NEEDED can be found:

patchelf --shrink-rpath kterm
patchelf --shrink-rpath matchbox-keyboard

The above **should** work to 'fix' kterm after Amazon 'fixed' the graphic libraries.
