Hmm, first off it looks like druntime.lib doesn't exist in the D2 download.
I was able to build it by running build-dmd.bat in one of the druntime
subdirectories.

But there's more to it than that.

There's an object.d in src/phobos with a prototype for a print() function.
But the object.di in src/druntime/import does not have a print() function.

So maybe the phobos.lib included was built using the old object.d
instead of the new one from druntime?
