No; the Asterisk build system has never had support for using a
system-provided version of the iLBC library.

Whoever provided you that library could easily run afoul of the same
licensing issues that caused us to remove the code from our Asterisk
distribution, and using that library does not obviate you from the need
to register your intent to use the codec if you are using it for
commercial purposes.
