Well, I was working a reduced test case and found that it has
something to do with my trace.d file here:
https://github.com/JinShil/stm32f42_discovery_demo/blob/master/source/stm32f42/trace.d

If I add a trace.writeLine("x") in my program, then the binary
goes from 2K to 130K.  Anyway, it appears it has nothing to do
with TypeInfo.  I'll continue to try to reduce.

Thanks for the help and useful information.
