Unfortunately, the XQuartz 2.7.10_rc3 release seems to bear no
resemblance to what it claims to be. Instead of the promised stub for
libXt.7.dylib

$ otool -L libXt.7.dylib
libXt.7.dylib:
/opt/X11/lib/libXt.7.dylib (compatibility version 8.0.0, current version 8.0.0)
/opt/X11/lib/libXt.6.dylib (compatibility version 7.0.0, current version 7.0.0)
/opt/X11/lib/libX11.6.dylib (compatibility version 10.0.0, current
version 10.0.0)
/opt/X11/lib/libxcb.1.dylib (compatibility version 3.0.0, current version 3.0.0)
/usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current
version 1238.0.0)

the installed /opt/X11/lib/libXt.7.dylib is a normal shared library...

 otool -L /opt/X11/lib/libXt.7.dylib
/opt/X11/lib/libXt.7.dylib:
/opt/X11/lib/libXt.7.dylib (compatibility version 8.0.0, current version 8.0.0)
/opt/X11/lib/libSM.6.dylib (compatibility version 7.0.0, current version 7.1.0)
/opt/X11/lib/libICE.6.dylib (compatibility version 10.0.0, current
version 10.0.0)
/opt/X11/lib/libX11.6.dylib (compatibility version 10.0.0, current
version 10.0.0)
/opt/X11/lib/libxcb.1.dylib (compatibility version 3.0.0, current version 3.0.0)
/opt/X11/lib/libXau.6.dylib (compatibility version 7.0.0, current version 7.0.0)
/opt/X11/lib/libXdmcp.6.dylib (compatibility version 7.0.0, current
version 7.0.0)
/usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current
version 1225.1.1)

Worse yet, the /opt/X11/lib/libXt.6.dylib shared library is now
missing which will break all X11 binaries linked under Xquartz 2.7.8
or earlier.
