Fwiw, here's an explanation of what those .tbd files are: https://forums.developer.apple.com/thread/4572

That means they are at most relevant when linking libraries, and even in that case they're only a new way of distributing stub libraries. That means the linker code should definitely never only look for .tbd files. It may first try that and then fall back to the original name if nothing is found, but that's it.
