/usr/lib/libc++.so is only used by the compiler/linker when linking a binary.
The resulting binary has the associated paths (/lib/libc++.so.1 and
/usr/lib/libcxxrt.so.1) in its DT_NEEDED.  So it is fine for the .so to be
in /usr/lib.  This is the same with /usr/lib/libc.so vs /lib/libc.so.7.

However, your point about libcxxrt.so.1 is valid.  It needs to also be moved
to /lib if libc++.so.1 is moved to /lib.  Doing so will also require yet another
depend-clean.sh fixup (well, probably just adjusting the one I added to
check the libcxxrt path instead of libc++ path).
