One last idea is that maybe there's a built-for-Mac copy of the same library 
on your system in one of the standard directories and it's linking to that 
rather than the Simulator copy.
Check if you have any of the tds libraries in /usr/local/lib for example.

You could also try
otool -L build/Debug-iphonesimulator/appname.app/appname
to see what it's dynamically linked to.

If there's a dylib somewhere in the standard library search path it will 
normally prefer that to a static .a lib in one of your manually specified 
additional -L search paths.
The -search_paths_first ld option changes that.

-search_paths_first
                 By default the -lx and -weak-lx options first search for a 
file of the form
                 `libx.dylib' in each directory in the library search path, 
then a file of the form
                 `libx.a' is searched for in the library search paths.  This 
option changes it so
                 that in each path `libx.dylib' is searched for then `libx.a' 
before the next path
                 in the library search path is searched.
