I knew that stuff like "new" wouldn't work without the runtime, but code that only does a few struct member accesses and a pointer cast shouldn't require runtime functions; that's all elementary C stuff.
D isn't C, it was not designed for your very uncommon purpose, it creates and manages things like moduleinfos, typeinfos, plus it initializes the GC even if you don't use it later. And currently in some cases D uses heap allocations even when you don't think they are needed, like when you define an array literal. Probably there are ways to disable each one of those (LDC has ways to disable typeinofos, and maybe even moduleinfos), so you have to find them all and disable/break/stub them.
