So, I guess it depends on the UNIX system you are using...  Say on 
Solaris or HPUX I would
expect /usr to come before /usr/local, at least for the system 
compiler.   It seems a bit dangerous
to have a system that has different versions of things in /usr and 
/usr/local, and to expect the
/usr/local one to be picked first.
