Apologies for the delay here; I was mulling over how specific this solution really is to `pkg-config`, and it seems we have a bunch of symlink handling elsewhere too (e.g....

Calling `Formula["foo"].prefix` from inside `Formula["bar"]` will return an `opt` path. Calling `Formula["foo"].prefix` from inside `Formula["foo"].prefix` will return a `Cellar` path. This is by design. `Cellar` paths are implementation details that...

No idea why installing Homebrew GCC breaks this. I don't see what it changes, since formulae should still continue to be built with the host compiler (unless they have `fails_with`,...

Does this work? ``` # In a fresh brew installation: brew install --cask ghidra brew list --cask ```

I have been contemplating using Zstd to compress our bottles instead. Zstd is nice because it's fast and has a better compression ration than gzip. However, this would require the...
