A better identification of what looks odd to me is the
path variations in:

# more /usr/lib/libc++.so
/* $FreeBSD$ */
GROUP ( /lib/libc++.so.1 /usr/lib/libcxxrt.so )

So /usr/lib/ still has to be available (so, possibly, mounted)
for C++ because of the /usr/lib/libcxxrt.so reference? If so,
why the move of libc++.so.1 to /lib/ ?
