Be aware that, as a rule, we do not support having other software installed in 
/usr/local.

No. The warning has nothing to do with bash. The issue is the existence of 
LD_LIBRARY_PATH or DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH; dyld removes those variables from its 
environment to prevent setuid/setgid executables from loading arbitrary dylibs. 
How those variables got into the environment is completely irrelevant.
