Not 100%, admittedly, but I can't think of any other instances of these
things being installed in /lib.  I know that glibc, for example, puts
libc.so in /usr/lib even though the corresponding libraries are in /lib.
Admittedly that one isn't a symlink though.

I think "ld -verbose" should do that.  Look for SEARCH_DIR or some such.
