Wow, with a bit of code-sign fiddling, that appears to be working, and
I can manually debug the test binaries just fine. Thank you so much!

So you have to build your binaries using the toolchain you built as part of building lldb.  If you are doing this all by hand to play around, you can just point at the compiler you've built (the lldb test suite does this automatically for all the tests it runs internally.)

So I would suggest building a simple example with it and watching the compile options and the linker options and all of them are very important... I gave up on doing manual builds because of this and I let Xcode do it.
