error in running Unit Tests with zld linker

[hassan-shahbazi]

Description

When I set -fuse-ld=<zld path> as the linker flag for xcode, the project stops running unit tests. I use the following command to run tests over my project

xcodebuild test -workspace NinchatSDKSwift.xcworkspace -scheme NinchatSDKSwiftTests "OTHER_LDFLAGS=\$(OTHER_LDFLAGS) -fuse-ld=$(which zld)" -destination "platform=iOS Simulator,name=iPhone 8"

But I get the following error:

Testing failed:
        NinchatSDKSwiftTests:
                xctest (82532) encountered an error (Early unexpected exit, operation never finished bootstrapping - no restart will be attempted. (Underlying error: Crash: xctest (82532): Namespace SIGNAL, Code 0x5))

** TEST FAILED **

To reproduce, just clone the repository, apply required changes to use zld, run pod install, and then run: xcodebuild test -workspace NinchatSDKSwift.xcworkspace -scheme NinchatSDKSwiftTests "OTHER_LDFLAGS=\$(OTHER_LDFLAGS) -fuse-ld=$(which zld)" -destination "platform=iOS Simulator,name=iPhone 8"
