TeX Live binaries are a tangled web of symlinks, at least on OSX.

I finally found the real binary in 
/usr/local/texlive/2023/bin/universal-darwin/, but symlinking it into my 
~/context/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin doesn’t help, I get:

$ context --make --luatex
mtx-context     | redirect luametatex -> luatex: luatex --luaonly 
--socket "/Users/hraban/context/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin/mtxrun.lua" 
--script mtx-context --make --luatex --redirected
mtxrun          | unknown script 'mtx-context.lua' or 'mtx-mtx-context.lua'

… the same "unknown script" error as without the symlink, when the 
luatex binary is found on the PATH. And yes, "mtxrun --generate 
--luatex" worked.

Might it be a conflict of texmfcnf.lua ?
