I'll try to spend some time today with the failing D linker additions and see what they're trying to accomplish, and see if we can't put in place a system to make it easier to make those types of changes (additions, substitutions, whatever). > I also think the D tools are driving a coach and horses through it in a > way that fails, even on Linux and OS X.

If you could perhaps send me a couple of sample D compile/link command line examples (not even working, just so I can see how the compile/link steps look), that would be great. -- Gary
