You could try using the llvm linker, lld, as noted in the
release notes for ldc 1.5:
Could you explain hot to do it? Install LLVM? And than how I
could specify what linker should be used?
Please, I'm tired of explaining this over and over. From LDC's
README.txt: `LDC relies on the MS linker and MSVCRT + WinSDK
libs.` The first part isn't actually true anymore,
`-link-internally` makes LDC link itself via embedded LLD. **But
you still need the Windows and Visual C++ runtime libs.**
In the LDC release notes (v1.3 IIRC), you'll find a link to a
guide about how to produce Win64 binaries from a Linux host;
that'd be applicable on Windows too for people having such a big
problem with installing Visual Studio/Build Tools.
