The end result is that /usr/bin == /bin and /usr/lib == /lib and that
everything is installed in /bin and /lib.

Possibly you're seeing problems because you have /usr mounted, also?  Recent
versions of setup umount /usr.

What does "gcc no longer compiles" mean?  You can't build gcc or you can't
compile anything with gcc?

/usr/bin is supposed to essentially be a symbolic link to /bin.  So, doing
a 'ls /usr/bin' should be equivalent to 'ls /bin'.  It sounds like this is
not the case in your setup.
