Where to install shared libraries on OSX 10.11?

Since OSX 10.11 it is forbidden to put stuff into /usr/lib, so I redirected everything to /usr/local/lib, which is afaik THE folder to install user libraries to. But /usr/local usually doesn't exist, so the installer creates it. It seems working fine, I checked only on 10.11 beta though, but others say it is fine.

But now I ran into a customer, who used official upgrade to 10.11 (not beta) and the system forbids him to create /usr/local directory, he even tried manually... Any ideas what the hell is this about?

Basically Apple tightened the security of OS X to prevent apps manipulating with system files.

Watch this Apple presentation to get answer and suggestions on what to do going forward.
