For my own defense: Until now I'd never actually tested it with DMD on 
GNU/Linux :)

This is one of those magical WTF things: The 'gdc' frontend passes 
libraries to the linker in one order, the 'gcc' frontend (used by DMD) 
passes them in the opposite order.  So when I fixed it for one, it broke 
it for the other.

Wow.

Anyway, it's fixed in 0.7.  I even compiled it with dmd :P

My apologies ... all part of the initial ironing out, getting it working 
everywhere.
