It is not, it turns out, what you are talking about; but I am going to 
jump in to repeat my request from 
http://jdebp.info./Softwares/nosh/roadmap.html for making it possible to 
use dynamically linked C++ programs in the bootstrap of FreeBSD.
Or, more generally, please ensure that the basic runtime libraries for 
the various languages compilable by the system compiler live in /lib and 
not in /usr/lib .  If they live in /usr/lib , then dynamically linked 
programs compiled by the system compiler for those languages are not 
guaranteed runnable until quite late in the bootstrap, because people 
might have a separate /usr .
For C++ compiled by clang++, this would entail moving libc++.so for example.
Unless, that is, you want to follow the TrueOS lead of having /usr in 
the / dataset ... (-:
