for more details.
Basically dmd puts libraries like -L-levent in front of any object files or
static libraries, which always leads to link errors when used w/ --as-needed
b/c the libraries aren't preceded by anything that requires them.
Linking w/ --as-needed is the default on Ubuntu, so dmd is effectively unable
to use external libraries on Ubuntu.
