That's certainly true for the X11/Tcl/Aqua/Carbon/Cocoa/whatever mix,
as well as consequences of having files put into nonstandard
locations. The OS X way of doing dynamic libraries also seems to be

think it is doing that the FreeBSD way, is it?

Of course, it is not like we haven't had trouble compiling for IRIX,
