Why are you running the tests at all for building a package?

The command

make ldmd2 druntime-ldc phobos2-ldc

will just build the compiler and standard library, along with the 
dmd-compatible driver. I assume you are running make alone, which 
might run the tests too.  Add druntime-ldc-debug and 
phobos2-ldc-debug to the list to get everything that normally 
comes with an ldc release.
