The problem is that you are trying to link both with Unit Test Framework and
Test Execution Monitor, while you only need only one of them. If you are
using  init_unit_test_suite you need to link with former, while if are using
test_main you need to link with later.

Both components supply main function. This linker select one that refer to
init_unit_test_suite.
