In case that you find implementation works correctly, this will
not change anything unless either /usr/lib or /lib are symlinks.
If you however use find -L, -type f will find even all symlinks in case they
are pointing to a file.
In negative logic: "find -L /usr/lib -type l" will find all symlinks
in /usr/lib that do not point anywhere.

This is why find has ".... -exec ... {} +" since 19 years.....
xargs will have problems in case that a file name contains spaces, tabs or
newlines.
