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?
