From what I can tell, DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH has precedence over rpath, just like LD_LIBRARY_PATH has on other Unices.

Enhance #11119 to work on Darwin.

Reading the man page from darwin, it looks like this is correct, although I don't have a mac handy to test with, and I'm not sure if we have any tests that get run on Mac for this feature? It would be nice to verify that this is, in fact, working as we expect

I'd have a slight preference for something like:

var = 'DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH' if machine.is_darwin() else 'LD_LIBRARY_PATH'
t_env.prepend(var, ...)

since everything else is the same between the two paths.

Hi @dcbaker! Turns out this not only enhances #11119 for Darwin, but also makes depends and targets in args work.

As such I'm going to include this commit (with your suggestions applied) in another PR: #14649

Sorry, I'd missed this before. I'll look at the other PR.
