Sorry, I'd had a few different tabs open and must
have pasted the link from the wrong one.
I've bent Michael's ear on this before, but
Myth's build system is extremely hard for me to
follow particularly due to QMake. Different
platforms get different qmkspec files--which are
actually a chain of nested include files
sometimes overriding each other. I asked about
this case because none of that was involved...and
I still didn't understand why XCode 5.0 succeeded
and XCode 4.3 failed. At least now, I've got a
clue.
OTOH, I checked the clang man page under XCode 5
and it still doesn't mention the LIBRARY_PATH
environment variable.

I think Craig is referring to the comment within the Portfile for
qt4-mac, about 2/5 of the way down under "Block various compilers".
MacPorts' build of Qt4 requires the use of CPATH and LIBRARY_PATH, and
post-configure I remove any -I${prefix}/lib entries to keep them from
appearing at inappropriate ordering during the build stage. So, I
blacklist all known compilers with this issue; it's the compiler that
makes the difference, much more than the version of XCode (though they
are related). And, during configuration Qt4 checks this property too. I
think MythTV doesn't do path ordering carefully, but it's been a bit
since I looked at that project. - MLD

To which comment are you referring? AFAICT, all that ticket says
regarding Xcode versions supporting LIBRARY_PATH is that it doesn't work
with 4.3.3.
My somewhat hazy recollection is that it might have started working in
4.4. Unfortunately I don't have that version handy to check.
