It could always just be distributed as a static library. There arguably isn't much point in distributing it as a shared library anyway - particularly when it's not ABI compatible across versions. I actively avoid having phobos as a shared library on my systems, because it just causes versioning problems when programs are built against it. All of those problems go away with a static library. And so much of Phobos is templated anyway that there isn't even much to share. - Jonathan M Davis
