I'm not sure I understand what you mean. But the existing practice is that
additional headers/libraries (i.e. not those defined by the C standard)
provided by the vendor are stored under /usr/{include,lib}. And I don't think
this goes against POSIX. Concerning /usr/local, the FHS says:
The /usr/local hierarchy is for use by the system administrator when
installing software locally.
So, it should be safe to add libraries there. And again, this is the existing
practice.
