Looks like https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/issues/5750. Deleting sys.dylib as described there should fix this, but it will make Julia startup slower. If you compile yourself, it should fix this and startup should be fast. I don't think there's a major reason to run the prerelease binaries instead of compiling master (with or without Homebrew) except that compiling takes time and requires dependencies.
