I am running Debian Testing and I think I have run into the
recent fPIC issue. This is the source code for the test
project I am using:
import std.stdio;
void main()

writeln("Edit source/app.d to start your project.");
readln();
}
When I try to compile a project, I get the following errors
(truncated for brevity):
/usr/bin/ld:
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/6/../../../x86_64-linux-gnu/libphobos2.a(thread_26c_155.o): relocation R_X86_64_32 against symbol `__dmd_personality_v0' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
/usr/bin/ld: final link failed: Nonrepresentable section on
output
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
dmd failed with exit code 1.
Exit code 2

I got the same problem, still under Debian. A fix is to use these
flags:
dmd -shared -m64 -fPIC -defaultlib=libphobos2.so app.d
You can also use another compiler:
dub --compiler=ldc2
or
rdmd --compiler=ldc2
Note that it is not recommended to use gdc because it is not up
to date, use dmd or ldc2.
Also note, that if you use Emacs + Org Mode,
http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/babel/languages/ob-doc-C.html
you will encounter the same problem. A fix is to add the
following line in your .emacs file:
(setq org-babel-D-compiler "rdmd --compiler=ldc2")
