OTHER_LDFLAGS of pods are inherited by app target

Report

What did you do?

Run pod install

What did you expect to happen?

OTHER_LDFLAGS of app target are not filled with values coming from pods.

What happened instead?

OTHER_LDFLAGS of pod appear in app target.

OTHER_LDFLAGS = $(inherited) -l"sqlite3" -l"sqlite3" -framework "UIKit"
(sqlite, sqlite3, UIKit are coming from the dependency.)

In my private project there is a custom library linked to the dependency pod from a custom path. So the app target can't be linked since it can't find the library.

It worked as expected in CP 1.5.3.
