3. Links to .so.version files should go in both /usr/lib and /lib for reasons stated above. Note: a quick check of SuSE and RedHat shows policy consistent with this.
Is this consistent with everyone's understanding?
No.
I don't understand why the .so symlinks linked to the .so.version file needs to be in both /usr/lib and /lib.
I read the thread that Jack gave and Gerard wants to keep the links in both places: /usr/lib because they are needed and /lib for consistency. After all, this is primarily an LFS issue and only marginally a BLFS issue. Additionally, I suspect they are needed on /lib in the case that ld.so.cache becomes unavailable for some reason.
