Asterisk expansion is a shell feature. dmd probably doesn't go through a shell when running ld. Even if it did, no expansion would be done there, because the word is looked at as a whole. With the leading "-L", the pattern doesn't match an actual path. For example, compare `echo /*` with `echo -L/*`. You have to spell the different paths out. Thanks a lot! I replaced "*" with the name of my OS and it all works! I thought that if it could replace $HOME, it ought to replace the asterisk. Probably I should add this caveat to http://wiki.dlang.org/Starting_as_a_Contributor#Running_Independent_Programs for future reference.
