[swift-corelibs-dev] Got some fatalErrors when running TestFoundation target

[Simon Evans]

The issue looks to be the TZDIR (Time zoneinfo directory) has changed between 10.12 and 10.13

On 10.12 (Sierra), /usr/include/tzfile.h defines:
$ grep TZDIR /usr/include/tzfile.h 
#ifndef TZDIR
#define TZDIR	"/usr/share/zoneinfo" /* Time zone object file directory */
#endif /* !defined TZDIR */

But when compiling with the beta its defined as:

$ grep TZDIR /Applications/Xcode-beta.app//Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX.sdk/usr/include/tzfile.h
#ifndef TZDIR
#define TZDIR	"/var/db/timezone/zoneinfo" /* Time zone object file directory */
#endif /* !defined TZDIR */

Which fails to since its pointing in the wrong place. A quick workaround is to just hardcode the TZDIR in CoreFoundation//NumberDate.subproj/CFTimeZone.c. A better workaround is maybe find out which os version the test is running on and set it dynamically.
