That's certainly true for the X11/Tcl/Aqua/Carbon/Cocoa/whatever mix,
as well as consequences of having files put into nonstandard
locations. The OS X way of doing dynamic libraries also seems to be
biting a few people though, and I'd call that a core issue. I don't
think it is doing that the FreeBSD way, is it?
Of course, it is not like we haven't had trouble compiling for IRIX,
HP-UX, Digital Unix,....
