Er...
You should not move files somewhere under /usr to the
corresponding somewhere under /usr/local; ie, not to places under
"/usr/local" that the systems searchs for programs and files, because
those files are probably compiled to be installed under /usr. Maybe I'm
confusing you.
However, you can move, for instance:
/usr/lib mv --> /usr/local/normal_usr/lib
and then, symlink "/usr/lib --> /usr/local/normal_usr/lib"
Thus, when the system searchs /usr/local/lib it will not find there files
intended for /usr/lib - see what I mean?
