Replacing stuff in /usr/include and /usr/lib is, however, a very bad practice, and I will never even test gentoo, let alone use it, if it does such things. The next minor OSX software update may very well destroy these files without telling you.

Although, in the case at hand, it is very tempting to trash that annoying symlink /usr/lib/libreadline.dylib->libedit.dylib that has no useful function whatsoever.


Well, of course you are right about the danger of replacing things in /usr/lib and /usr/include...

By default Gentoo on Mac OS X does *not* let you do this (FEATURES="collision-protect"), but I was a bit more stubborn about this... ;)
