| I never so much as implied that a given shell command will never emit anything to stderr. Why do you keep reiterating this sophistic comment? It doesn't justify writing messages to stderr out of an error-free script.
I will reiterate my suggestion that the message could be tabled (held) until the compile has completed and emitted to stderr only if the compile fails. Otherwise, or in any case, it could be written to syslog, or not at all.
Another (less attractive) possibility is the addition of a switch that would suppress this, or particular, or all non-error messages. I'm sure there are other alternatives.
I have opened a bug report wherein I reiterate my suggestions. I hope it is given due consideration, but I will accept any outcome.

The dlopen message is an error as far as dyld is concerned. But I’ll reiterate that even if dyld didn’t produce this message in this particular case, you must not assume that a given shell command will never emit anything to stderr. That is the nature of stderr.
