Yes, I'm creating a custom SDK to overcome problems linking to my own 
libs in Xcode (which basically fails when the libs are outside 
syslibroot.) I couldn't find another sensible way.

Thanks, will try. Another option that came to mind is just replacing the 
dependency in the .la with a -lfoo style, instead, for example 
"/usr/local/lib/libintl.la" -> "-L /usr/local/lib -lintl". Would that be 
asking for trouble?
