None.  /usr/local is for *local* system-specific software compiled by
the system admin and typically *not* packaged.

NO, NO, NO.  

/usr/local is where *applications* go.  Don't restore them from backup
if they were built on an older version of Slackware.  Among the
problems you'll encounter are missing and unresolved symbols in
libraries.
