that make sense to me

I don't know - I imagine we can look to the other projects that do this for inspiration.

(We would probably want the scripts to read the configured value for 'normal' use, but also respect any possible override when being called from port, I guess).

We can't change dyld (AFAIK), but I believe we've always had (at least) three options for cc/ld/whatever:
1. -nostdinc + add back all of the non /usr/local paths
2. custom-built version of cc/ld/whatever that is patched to not search /usr/local
3. fix up trace mode (or it's successor) so it can be used all the time
