I'm not sure what you are saying here Jim. If the library file
is either referenced as a symlink or a regular file by an excutable file in /bin or /sbin, it needs to be in /lib. There should be no links from /lib to a location outside of /lib. The rule here is that the programs must be execuatable if /usr is not mounted.

I had a long discussion with a lot of people on this issue.

The actualy libaries get installed into /lib, but the symlinks for those libraries (.so) are in /usr/lib. Tushar and others corrected me on this issue in the past. Look in lfs-dev from when I changed the shadow and readline to use --libdir.
