Hello,
I am working on a large cross-platform project, which will be written
primarily in D, interfacing to C as necessary. To get finer control over
memory safety, binary size, and use of the GC, we would like to disclude
libphobos as a dependency in lieu of our own code. The project is
compiled using LDC.
I am not sure if this is possible though, as it seems there are certain
things in libphobos that are tightly coupled into the D runtime. There
are several things in the core namespace that would be helpful for us
(SIMD, C bindings, etc), but I am not sure if that is not also part of
libphobos along with the other namespaces.
How do I remove libphobos as a runtime dependency with ld and MSVC’s
link.exe? Is it possible to decouple core from other parts of the
runtime, and if so, how?

It sounds like you want to simply link against druntime and not phobos.
In many cases, phobos and druntime are bundled together as a static
library. If you just want druntime (core and rt) then you probably have
to build druntime from source.
I'm generally working on dmd, so I don't know how it works for ldc. But
I'm sure it's quite similar (building druntime with dmd is just one make
command).
