No. In /usr/lib (since that is where it appeared to be looking):
marder-1# pwd
/usr/lib
marder-1# ls -l libg++*
-r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 309804 Sep 30 00:47 libg++.a
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 11 Sep 30 00:47 libg++.so -> libg++.so.4
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 11 Oct 11 18:05 libg++.so.27 -> libg++.so.4
-r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 301714 Sep 30 00:47 libg++.so.4

Yes. It all worked fine before I installed linux_base.

marder-1# linux
Linux driver already loaded
marder-1# netscape
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
marder-1#

That is what I thought, but linux_base uses
/compat/linux/usr/i486-linux-libc5/lib for these libraries although
/compat is symlinked to /usr/compat.
