Comment (by kencu):

 Indeed there is a nice trick where you can reexport libraries, possibly
 adding functions in the process. I think we might indeed find nice ways to
 use this, possibly making a new libSystem.dylib that adds in most or all
 the symbols in libMacportsLegacySupport.dyib.

 Here's another couple of links I found interesting:
