Undefined Reference calling D from C using static linking

[data pulverizer via Digitalmars-d-learn]

I am trying to call a D function from C. Here is the D code:
```
/* dcode.d */
extern (C) nothrow @nogc @system {
    double multNum(double x, double y)
    {
        return x*y;
    }
}
```

Then the C code:

```
/* ccode.c */
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stddef.h>

extern double multNum(double x, double y);

int main()
{
    printf("output: %f", multNum(3.0, 4.0));
    return 0;
}

```

Then I compile with:

```
ldc2 -c dcode.d
gcc -c ccode.c
gcc -o output ccode.o dcode.o
```

I get the error:

```
dcode.o: In function `ldc.register_dso':
dcode.d:(.text.ldc.register_dso+0x6e): undefined reference to 
`_d_dso_registry'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
```
