[swift-corelibs-dev] Building Foundation in Xcode

[Taylor Franklin]

Brian,

I have also been having issues, so I tried your suggestions and I cannot
even get a toolchain built on the Swift master branch. I also tried
the swift-3-api-guidelines branch, assuming that is where the Swift 3 code
lives.

Anyway, I get the error:
Failing Tests (1):
    Swift :: Driver/filelists.swift

Does the build-toolchain script take certain parameters or have other
prerequisites?
Thanks for any help.

- Taylor
