There's no reason to make *bsd do anything. gen_usr_ldscript is already
smart enough to not do anything in some environments; I'm just
proposing adding linux to that list.

I'm not talking about migrating *anything* at this point, just how to
implement separate /usr support on linux, without affecting what the
alternate platforms are doing.

Please let's keep this thread on topic. Migrating packages is another
separate discussion.
