It will NOT break Samba. The Samba check just looks to see if acl_get_file (or
whatever) is available after a -lacl compile call. If your system looks for
libraries in both /usr/lib and /lib, it will not break with the move.
Another option, mentioned by Nathan, is to put a symbolic link in the /usr/lib
directory to the real library residing in /lib.
I tried the /lib location out with my Samba source here and it works fine.
