OMF support.
IMO, the correct solution here is to deprecate OMF and use the
System linker for 32-bit on Windows as that is already the
default behavior on 64-bit Windows
So instead of -m32 and -m32mscoff, we would have -m32 and
-m32omf. I think that this is a reasonable tradeoff. We could
leave -m32mscoff in for a while, for backwards compat.
In general I agree with you that coff is the way to go. I just
dislike the consequences. Today you just download the dmd Windows
zip, extract it and you have a running compiler. Nice, self
contained and a good advertisement for D. On the other side if
the user is forced to install Visual Studio / C++ build pack,
this might distract first time D users...
If the Microsoft linker could be added to dmd that would be the
best solution. Just dreaming :)
Kind regards
