If you compile with -m32mscoff for 32-bit or -m64, DMD will use

I don't know if it's specific to me, but with dmd and mscoff I 
found the need to explicitly mention that I wanted to use the 
import libraries.

E.g. looking at the requirements section of the docs:
(https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/api/wingdi/nf-wingdi-stretchdibits)

I would put this in my code:
pragma(lib, "Gdi32.lib");
