Well, on Debian stable:

[ ~ ] ls -l /lib/cpp
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root  root   12 Apr 12 14:18 /lib/cpp -> /usr/bin/cpp
[ ~ ]

And RH 7.2:

[ ~]$ ls -l /lib/cpp
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root  root   14 Feb 28 11:53 /lib/cpp -> ../usr/bin/cpp
[ ~]$

RH 6.2 is what, two years old?  Maybe RH was still learning how
to make symlinks when it came out.  ;-)
