Puneet, No, it won't. These are only header files, not the actual libraries. You don't want to rename those (though I sometimes temporarily 'hide' libraries such as readline - Apple's is BSD not GNU and thus incompatible with builds such as octave, but immediately rename them back to their original names).
The only time there may be an issue is when Apple updates X11. Then the files will be replaced.
