[swift-dev] problems with linking .tbd frameworks in test suite

[Alex Lew]

Gahh... yep, turns out I was using an old MacPorts version of ld. I thought
I'd cleared out gcc, ld, etc. from /opt/local/bin a while ago, but I guess
not. Should have been my first thought. Thanks! And sorry for bothering!
