Dmd already uses whatever the system linker is and on Arch

DMD emit object file that, depending on the version of Gold:
- Will produce broken binaries.
- Will fail with cryptic internal error;
Why that?
I've tried to patch Gold, to accept dmd's file, but eventually
ran out of time. If one want to take over that work I can point
some places in Gold's source code to look at. I'd also not be
that surprised that DMD does emit somthing weird in its object
files.
By weird do you mean gcc-specific?
