gen_usr_ldscript is only needed if you are using separate /usr without
an initramfs. This is unsupported and orthogonal to the usr merge.
just one addition: for having self-contained / with /usr on another
partition, you just need to move libfoo.so* to /lib; the ldscript is only
useful because the linker searches /usr/lib first then /lib, and if
libfoo.a is in /usr/lib, it picks that one.
IOW: gen_usr_ldscript is not needed without static libs, even for the case
you describe
