Hmm. D is supposed to link with gcc code, so that could be an issue.
How?
I believe Marco explained that: "GNU C closures need an executable stack"
If these nested functions / closures were used in any of my installed
packages I would have gotten the same warnings as for dmd. We are dealing
with a rarely used GNU only (in other words non-portable) feature that
makes C programs arguably more vulnerable. This extension I think, could
actually be ignored. From what I've read its usually assembly files that
are assembled without a .note.GNU-stack section hint that end up with an
executable stack for the benefit of doubt.
Ignorant of all that, isn't this solely a linker issue and has nothing to
do with dmd?
