DMD is not using GCC, only 'ld' from binutils. so yes, this is normal. 
actually, you can't expect this to work, as object code representation is 
not specified by the language, and generated code too. mixing compiled 
libraries from dmd and gdc can have alot of unexpected effects, 'cause 
even runtime is not similar.
