Generally speaking, we should not be placing software into /usr/local/lib as 
part of the Yocto work.  That location, and /opt/* are reserved for system 
administrators to place their own software...  So that location, if necessary, 
should be done by the system admin.

The /usr/X11R6/lib location should be a symlink to /usr/lib.  As all of the X 
libraries are installed into /usr/lib... so there is no reason to have this 
location in the ld.so.conf.  (Note I have not verified that that is a symlink... 
or if the directory is empty -- but it should be...)

So yes, my preference is that it's either absent or empty for embedded systems.
