If doing a build, the location of static libraries and other support files
like a .pc or include file should be in the /usr tree. Dynamic libraries
can be in either /lib or /usr/lib or possibly other directories specified
by -L. These other libraries need to be available at run time via
/etc/ld.so.cache or LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
If running a program where /usr is not mounted, such as a recovery
situation, the administrator may need tar and tar may want libz to
decompress tarballs.
Therefore libz needs to be in /lib along with tar in /bin.
There may be other issues that I don't remember right now.
