Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by inspecting the repository's existing build configuration and CI entry points to find how tests and subprojects are handled; done means a test application links against the libraries, catches link-time symbol problems, runs in CI, and is not built when libcpp is used as a subproject.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

libcpp: need to add a test application that links against the libraries to check for potential problems like the mach_absolute_time missing symbol at link time due to poor symbol definition. This application should be built as a test, and not when we are being used as a subproject.
