For security, it strips all DYLD_* variables from the environment when you run a "protected" executable.  All system executables are protected, including the shell interpreters.  If you are invoking a shell script such as the "wine" script for running Wine from the build tree, then that variable will be stripped.  For that particular case, you can put the export command into a .winewrapper file to have it sourced by the shell, which will work.  For other cases, you may need to edit your script.

Thanks you both, using the export worked as expected, and yes this is
XQuartz (installed from brew I guess, the computer is not mine). It is
running Yosemite so it was not a problem.
