Hi,
I just tried again, and I confirm I'm able to successfully 
compile GtkD with gdc.
I used to get those multiply defined template symbols, but the 
issue is now fixed, at least for me.
I'm using latest Debian Testing gdc (6.2.1 20161124, v2.68.2) + 
current GtkD from git.

However, please note that I had to manually specify "-no-pie" to 
link the examples (but it's a totally separate issue).
