It is actually the .di reliance. Maybe you should just fix the makefile
so that it does not generate .di files for druntime.
It's not that easy. Phobos imports the DI's and it's make file would
need to be adjusted as well. Which could very well break other things.
Also, see the issues with SharedLibs. The issue of runtime commonality
is no small deal.
core.time is not exactly "runtime". It's simply contains types *used* in
the runtime. I don't see why it needs to be dynamic whatsoever.
I think the right solution might be to split modules into "support"
modules, and "runtime" modules, and only .di the runtime modules.
When I think of runtime parts of core, I think of the GC, threads, and
synchronization pieces (I think maybe intrinsics are there too).
Everything else is there as support.
