Fwiw, here's an explanation of what those .tbd files are:

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.
