There's no need for that since only a single version is present at any given time.

I never meant to argue that using a shared library inside Xcode would be a good idea, if not only because Xcode is supposed to be movable.

Then again one would have similar constraints using a libclang from MacPorts. It's stored in a directory containing the llvm version (the dylib itself isn't versioned either), so when you change the llvm version you're obliged to rebuild your client even if the ABI doesn't change.

I didn't say they exported everything from /Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/lib to /usr/lib. I remember wondering if I should have said "their /usr/lib". It's late here.
