OK, good. Thanks for the answer.

Seems you are misleading yourself. Take a look at [1]. Those libraries
do not belong to the base system.

Hope, it's clear to you that you didn't succeed in it.

Actually you get a system which may fault any time (I mean
linuxulator). You don't have a control over your system now.
Linux (and may be other) libraries are spread here and there.

I'd recommend you reinstalling the system from scratch, sorry.
