Certainly, but...

I am talking about easing the burden of adding workarounds.  OS X is
odd, and that means that these issue will continue to be common.   Your
changes were slightly hard to follow, and on reflection seem like they
could be factored out into a list of libraries to patch and a list of
dependencies to adjust, so that there would be two variables set, and no
need for the open-coded version.
