What I would expect: A simple executable program that does a 
writeln and do not weight tons of megabytes. Thanks.

void main()
{
    import std.stdio;
    writeln("Hello world!");
}

Ubuntu 18.04, LDC v1.16:

ldc2 hello.d
=> ~1.7 MB

ldc2 hello.d -link-defaultlib-shared
=> < 20 KB

The 2nd executable depends on the shared druntime and Phobos 
libraries though, whereas the first one is standalone.
