I've written a program where user input drives the generation of a code snippet that then gets passed to an invocation of dmd, compiled, linked and the loaded as a shared library via dlopen(), et al. It works fairly well, and dmd generally is fast enough that the pause is not very noticeable. (This was before dmd-as-a-library was available; I imagine it would be even faster today now that you don't have to spawn a separate dmd process.) The generated snippet does import std.math, and it seems to work fine. But then the generated snippets tend to be fairly small, and only use a limited subset of the language, so there may be gotchas that I'm not aware of.
