Missing symbols for struct initializers and things like that. And
templates too, I guess. Can't remember the details anymore. But the -lib
flags wouldn't help with that anyway.
I think I'm referring to the same, or something similar. Apparently DMD
doesn't emit template instances to all object files that need them. When
doing incremental builds it can happen that some of the template
instances gets removed when an object file is replaced.

This link suggests that the -lib flag will put each output the template
instances to all object files that need it:
