Anyway, even when I prepend the custom path, the path components in PATH will be reordered so that /usr/bin is again in the front after login in. Any clues, why this have been done that way?

Thank you very much for this fast reply!
OK, so then I assume there is no problem using the command line version in /usr/bin in *parallel* with Xcode's implementation, or even a third party tool - if I ensure this third party tool uses the tool in /usr/bin ?
